...this time almost everyone must know of the performance of "The Sphinx" which the Hasty Pudding Club is to give this evening for the University crew. Anyone who can possibly afford a dollar and a half to support the crew will find this one of the most delightful ways of contributing. The operetta is especially good, and one well worth a man's while to see even were the question of supporting the crew not taken into consideration. Those who care for their crew enough to contribute the price of the ticket will of course go. Those who grudge their...
...races will probably be rowed on the east side of Cayuga Lake, and be watched from observation trains. The old dancing hall at Glenwood will make a good boat house, and there are enough cottages in the neighborhood to afford accommodations for the oarsmen. Representatives of Columbia and University of Pennsylvania will go to Ithaca this week, to examine the quarters, and perfect final arrangements...

There is no need of this if some businesslike student will begin immediately to agitate the question of excursions from Harvard to Chicago. In such excursions there is the obvious advantage of the added interest and pleasure arising from the company of men of kindred views...

If the condition of things has so changed that it appears for the best interests...
...incompetent to act as managers or advisors. In my opinion the very nature of these contests precludes any committee, composed of Faculty members and appointed to regulate athletics, from assuming to manage the practical affairs of the different clubs and associations. On the other hand few graduates can afford to give the time necessary, even if they have kept pace with the development of the subject. Experience has shown that the management of athletic organizations is too much for the students to assume without the council and advice of older heads, nor ought the sole responsibility for the practical working...
