...have selected the four best men in college; for we have no reason to believe that the committee does not know far better than any other set of men the standing of the players in college. But in the committee's action, the college has some cause for complaint that the choice is seemingly arbitrary.

...Rowing Club desires it stated that the membership of the club is unlimited, also that there are still enough lockers to accommodate all who desire them. The boat house has been open since Monday, and notwithstanding the bad weather several boats have been taken out. There has been a complaint because there is no water in the bath rooms. The water will not be turned on while it stays so cold for fear that it will freeze in the pipes; but as soon as the weather grows a little warmer the water will be turned into the pipes.
