...With the end of the football season, Yale naturally looks forward to the spring and weighs the chances for the success of her crew and nine. The crew bids fair to be the equal of last year's eight, and Yale can look forward to the Yale-Harvard and Yale-Pennsylvania races with reasonable hopes of success. In the matter of the nine, the college is somewhat downhearted. Stagg, it is said, has absolutely refused to play next season. But Yale has a way of persuading delinquents in athletic matters which seldom fails of success, and it seems scarcely possible...
...will belong to the undergraduate department which will have no special faculty. All the courses will be conducted by instructors, while the professors will lecture in university courses only. The university faculty of arts will then begin with the senior year, and will last for three years, at the end of each of which the student will get his B. A., A, M. and Ph. D. The arts faculty will thus be co-ordinate with the Law, Mines and Political Science faculties, and if this scheme is carried out and the proposed faculty of Philology, Philosophy and Fine Arts established...

An abuse too prevalent at Harvard-the nursing system of private tutors-is treated with the open and unqualified contempt it deserves. If the Monthly continues thus ably to discuss...
...July or August. We could not in any possible way, shape, or manner, get our crew into its best shape as early as April. Why, the ice doesn't break up in New Haven Harbor so that we can get on the water before the middle or end of March. It needs all the time that we can get, every hour of it, between April 1 and July 1, to get our crews into their best form...
...Again, the race with Harvard is toward the end of June, and if we trained our crew for a race in April it would be hard to keep them in fit physical condition for the June race with Harvard. These reasons seem to us here at Yale to e weighty enough almost to necessitate placing the date of the proposed Yale-Cambridge race in July or early in August. We don't know how the Englishmen feel about it because we have not heard from them yet. We shall open negotiations soon and see how they look at the question...
