...last year's Yale crew are now in training with the exception of Storrs who has graduated. In addition to these men, Beck, Merritt and Souther, '84, Cutler, '85 and Cowles, '86, new men, are candidates. It is expected that before the week is over five more will enter, so that there will be two eights training. The men appear on the track at 10 o'clock each morning and run a certain distance, to be changed each day, and at half-past ten will begin work on the rowing weights...
...much improved, there seems to be no good reason why the men who contribute to the entertainment and spend a large amount of time and money in preparation for the different events, should not obtain some reward which shall be worthy of preserving. It is true that contestants enter rather for honor than for any substantial reward, but it is none the less certain that prizes which in themselves are worth competing for act oftentimes as a great incentive to hard and faithful work, and are no more than proper rewards for success. A step in the right direction...

...outrow a Harvard four" can give to our adversaries in an intercollegiate regatta "an undue advantage." Pray do not understand that we advocate the sending of a crew to such a regatta - oh, no; but it sounds ill, you see, to speak as though Harvard desires to enter no contest where her large numbers are not sure of giving her security against defeat. If our real rowing ability is on a par with that of the other colleges, our large numbers ought to secure a correspondingly large share of the victories. Do not give the impression that Harvard asks...
...Commencement is near, and their work cannot be slighted, will usually more than others be desirous of an early day; but there is the same slighting on the part of other oarsmen. We hope the rowing men in '83 will find themselves able to make the sacrifice sufficient to enter the race, although the class will probably in any event not allow itself to be unrepresented. While the Senior class at Yale does not enter a crew in the spring races, the introduction of such a custom here would, it seems to us, be deplorable...
