...lately there has grown up a grievance there which well deserves the condemnation it receives. I refer to the insufficient supply of hot water in the bath-rooms. I do not know exactly what time the hot water gives out, but I know that no man on the '85 crew has been able to find a drop of warm water for some time, and I believe some of the other crews find things the same way. There are lots of other men who stop exercising promptly when the bell rings, who yet are obliged to take a cold bath...

This rule is naturally defective to a great extent regarding the chest-weights, and every afternoon after four o'clock it is almost impossible for one who is not fortunate enough to be trying for some crew or nine to get a chance to exercise upon the weights.

A gentlemen in Providence has offered prizes for the best class crew, and it is expected the races will be held about the time of Class Day. There are three shells now in the possession of the University Boating Association, and if a sufficient amount of money can be raised to have them placed in order, an interesting contest may be expected...
