...there are two plans talked of, the latter of which is considered by far preferable, if practicable. The first plan is to meet each club separately at some city equidistant from the two colleges. This would necessitate an outlay of money rather larger than desirable, and would also consume time which would be hard to obtain. The second is to arrange, if possible, a tournament at Springfield, in which all the colleges will take part, on or about the time of the regatta. It is thought that such a course would tend to increase the interest in the matches...
...students obtain excellent fare at $2.50 per week, while here the fare is poor and insufficient at $4 per week. It may be said that prices are much lower one hundred and fifty miles back in the country than near a large city.

...While no one can doubt the propriety of doing the latter, still it is a pertinent question to ask, wherein have such studies any superiority over writing as a means of discipline. Moreover, it is a recognized fact that the men most ready to write are those who are also most ready to study. In this case there need be no fear of their neglecting their tasks in order to attend to the duty of writing, - a duty that can scarcely be called more pleasurable. If those, however, are induced to write, whose custom it is not to study, save...
