...left to the option of the colleges to row with or without coxswains, and supported his motion on what seems to us the specious ground that, because it was claimed by some that as good time could be made with coxswains as without, it was proper to allow those who thought they could make better time without coxswains to do so. All boats, we think, should be on the same footing, and the considerations in favor of coxswains are many besides that of time, which, in fact, is of small consequence any way in an amateur race.

...alternate Mondays, it is now proposed to read some play of the author treated of in the previous lecture, the different parts having been previously distributed among the members by the committee in charge of the literary exercises. This distribution will be made far enough in advance to allow ample time for preparation, and, to insure a better understanding of the play, it may be found expedient to appoint some gentleman for every play, to study and be ready to explain any obscure allusions or phrases...
