...make the meet a success the club will need the help of the university at large. The expenses will be very heavy and will require the sale of a large number of tickets. As the race will surely be most interesting there is no reason why the required number should not be sold. No movement which will raise the standard of Harvard athletics as this promises to do, should be hindered by lack of interest...
...annual Harvard-Yale football game last fall. With a view to this, representatives of the two colleges have, during the past week, endeavored to come to some agreement in regard to the place where the game shall be played. It is gratifying to note that there is every reason to hope that a satisfactory arrangement will be concluded. The arrangement will be for a permanent meeting place.

Those methods, to, will depend largely upon the men in the boat and their tendency to fall into faults...
...college who have watched the efforts of the freshmen. There is something radically wrong which must be remedied soon, or the result will be disastrous. We believe that the captain is doing his best to put a good crew on the water and that there is no reason why he should not succeed. Whatever the trouble is, the interests of the class demand that it shall be remedied. If the fault lies with the coaching, as our correspondent hints, let that be changed...
