...nothing has so dampened the spirits of oarsmen and kept so many from rowing as the wretched condition of the boat-house. The removal of this drawback will, we hope, add to the general interest in boating. To keep everything in order hereafter, and to pay the running expenses, certain rules of the H. U. B. C. will be enforced in the spring more strictly than they have been hitherto. The running expenses will amount each year to a little more than five hundred dollars, - four hundred dollars for rent and one hundred dollars for water-rates...
...offices without any distinction to the whole class, - and we sincerely hope that the result will be seen in a wise choice of the best man for each place. Of course, this result will not be reached unless the old jealousies are entirely thrown away, and it is equally certain that the experiment of this year will not be repeated by succeeding classes unless the issue proves that better officers, and therefore a more successful Class Day, are possible under the new system than under the selfish wire-pulling which used to be thought necessary.

It would have been supposed, however, that neither college would so far forget its dignity as to deliberately insult its guests, had not the Record disdained the forbearance which the commonest etiquette of hospitality demands...
...subscription list for the University Crew has been circulated lately among all the classes, and the subscriptions of the three upper classes have been liberal, while the Freshmen have given but little and that with very bad grace. A year ago the new system of assessing each class a certain percentage of the amount necessary for the crew was instituted, and was acknowledged by every one to be a very just and equitable way of raising the money required. Each class now in passing through College supports one crew. The Freshmen are assessed thirty-five per cent of the whole...
