...already certain that more prizes will be offered for such contests at the meeting of the Colleges next summer. Mr. Blaikie's belief in the use of such exercises is shown by the remark in his address to the undergraduates the other evening, that every man on the University Crew ought to enter the two-mile running-race. Mr. F. Merriam of '71 has offered a silver cup, to be contested for in a mile running-race at the spring meeting. The thanks of the Association are certainly due to this gentleman for his kind offer...

This applies to Pierian and Glee Club concerts as well as to the ball Nine. These clubs should be supported in the same manner as the crew, by subscriptions. This is the reasoning. However much we may differ from these conclusions, the argument is certainly one which commends itself to our attention...

I feel certain, however, that the following figures are very nearly correct, and the estimated sums due by each class will vary but little from the amounts stated. $ 1,800 must be raised for the support of the crew during the coming year, and the Club is now in debt to the amount of $ 1,700. It is therefore necessary to raise $ 3,500. The amount thus far subscribed, including last year's subscription not yet paid, is $ 1,572. The Class of '76 owe $ 232, making a total...
