...evident, from an inspection of the list of rooms recently issued from the Bursar's office, that a large number of the best rooms have been reserved for those who enter next year. Now, we have no wish to compel Freshmen to room outside the College Yard, but we do claim that every undergraduate should have a chance to apply for every room not re-engaged. If, after their wants are satisfied, any rooms remain that are not disposed of, the sub-Freshmen should be allowed to draw for them; they should not be allowed to draw for rooms which...
...earnestly hope that Harvard may be represented in the American Henley. It seems most practicable to enter our Crew for the eight-oared race, in which they would probably meet Princeton and Columbia. This would not interfere with our Yale race, nor would it demand much extra work on the part of the Crew. Less practicable, but still more desirable, would be the entry of a four-oar, as only with a four-oar can we meet Cornell. There are several difficulties in the way of this course which do not present themselves in the case of an eight-oared...
...system of secret entries is also open to criticism. When the entries were public, if any event did not "fill," those who were interested in making the meeting a success could persuade persons competent to enter to do so before the entries closed, and thus insure an interesting meeting. The failure of the meeting of March 8 was, in part at least, due to the fact that the entries were secret. One, and probably two, of the events which failed to occur would have taken place had the entries been public. The only reason for keeping the entries secret...
...object of the H. A. A. is to encourage athletics here. Now, as the contestants in many of the events of the in-door meeting practise together daily, it is well known beforehand who is likely to win; and often the man whose chances are best is left to enter the contest alone. Hence, under the present rule, a man is actually discouraged from trying to excel, knowing that if he acquires a decided superiority over others, no one will enter against him, and he will lose all chances...
Scratch Races. We hope that the scratch races this year may not be confined to those men who compose, or have tried for, their class crews. Now that the rowing mania is in full blast there will of course be a large entry for these races, and many will enter who have not been rowing steadily, and perhaps not rowing at all. The fact of the races being "scratch" would seem to entitle every entry to a show for a seat in the boats, and to secure this it would seem to be fairer to draw the lots from...
