From present indications it would seem that such will be the outcome. The Senior crew is improving in form and speed to an extent that is extremely encouraging. Under fair conditions they recently rowed a mile and a half time trial in 7m. 48s. The appearance of the men is splendid. They are an exceptionally well boated crew, and row a powerful long stroke, that has as its best features a strong drag and hard finish. Donovan who has entire charge of the coaching is fully satisfied with the men and has no doubt as to the crew's ability...
...danger of such a system is that it is likely to be carried too far, and popularize debating to an inadvisable extent. If the system could be limited to the two upper classes however, it would seem that the University Debating Club and the two courses could exert an "austere" enough influence to prevent an epidemic of informal discussion, and there seems little doubt but that such discussion would do much toward making debating attractive, and making something in common between the men who see each other a couple of hours a week in English 30 or English...
...recent work of the crew proves that it has speed. Most of the men exhibit plenty of life and seem to have endurance enough for the long distance.

The chief faults of the crew are at present unsteadiness and a hurried recover. The leg drive, although it has improved lately, is not yet as powerful as it ought...
...work for Harvard rowing. Their expenses have been proportionately heavy and they are now some $600 in debt. As the 'Varsity management feels unable to do so, I have been asked by Captain Perkins to help them with the surplus money left in the '98 crew treasury. This would seem to be for the best interests of Harvard rowing; but, as it is not for a class purpose, I do not feel justified in adopting it without first asking for an expression of opinion on the part of the subscribers to the Senior crew. I hope there will...
...regard to the manner in which undergraduates would receive a compulsory course, the opinion of those who have written on the subject in English course, has been almost unanimous in approval, and this we believe is general. It would certainly seem that there could be no danger of the opposition of future undergraduates. Those who come here take things as they find them. If applied only to Freshmen as has been suggested, there could thus be little fear of its meeting with opposition. The idea of a Freshman attempting to clog the administrative wheels of an established course, is rather...
