...Yale crew hope to beat Harvard next year by a new stroke, which is pronounced by some who have seen it to be the first practical stroke Yale has ever adopted. The old hang at the end of the stroke is abolished, and several crooked little points are also done away with. In the new stroke, the reach is shorter than heretofore, to insure a strong and steady grip of the water, and to save the additional exertion formerly used in putting the blade back.

On a table at the end of the room is a "complaint-book," in which members may write any complaint or any suggestion for the management of the club, to which the president makes reply on the opposite page. Beyond the newspaper reading-room is the debating-hall, which was greatly enlarged last summer. A large...
