...beginning of last year the Advocate published several articles arguing the question whether University men should or should not be allowed to row at the spring and fall races on their class crews.

Now, the course at Saratoga is undoubtedly all that could be desired, while that at New London is rendered very doubtful by the probabilities of rough water, so that as far as the advantages for rowing are concerned there can be no choice between the two places. Indeed, the former place is regarded...
