The Sophomores are organizing an eight, to be sure, and expect to take part in the contest; but they were so unlucky in the spring, and have begun to train so late, that they will have hard work to keep up with '80 and '81.

One year is not sufficient to give the system a fair trial. It is not to be wondered at if this new freedom, when first granted to a class of young men who for two years have been strictly bound to the recitation-room, should, to some extent, be abused; but the next class to enjoy the privilege have been warned by the experience of their predecessors of the danger...
