...wish to commend the action taken by the authorities of Cambridge in regard to the voting of students. An impression that a student could not vote at Cambridge has previously prevailed in the University. There is no law which forbids him to choose as his voting place the town where he resides and holds property. The authorities of Cambridge have recently called the attention of students to this fact, and though it is too late now to urge registration for the coming campaign, it is nevertheless earnestly to be hoped that all students who have the privilege of voting will...
...favored seats of learning possess, and they have a comparatively small number of rowing-men to choose from; but in the face of these difficulties, with the support of a large number of wealthy and liberal graduates, and with Mr. Jasper Goodwin to push matters, they have imitated the action taken by Harvard in '69, and have improved upon the example.

The reason of the withdrawal, according to the Targum, is "disappointment at the non-election of a friend." We warn all our subscribers, that as soon as one of them withdraws, we shall take a leaf out of the Targum's book...
...answer to this communication has been received from New Haven, and the Yale Navy apparently have taken no action in the matter; but it is certainly a desirable thing to have a single-scull race for the championship of the two colleges, and there could be no better time for it than the week of the University race at New London. If any decision in this matter is to be reached this summer it ought to be made at once, to enable the contestants to make the necessary preparations. As Mr. Livingston has taken the first step, it is only...
