...visit to the boat-house and a casual inspection of the boats and oars there stored is apt to make the visitor take his departure with plenty of food for reflection, and unpleasant reflection it cannot fail to be. The University Boat Club is supported by the subscriptions of the students, and it has always been supposed that some provision is made for the aquatic exercise desired by those who are not members of either of the five regular crews. Yet what is the real state of matters? A glance at the array of craft tucked away upon the brackets...
...light of an international contest, yet it will prove unusually interesting, and will afford the college a chance to be present at a game of lacrosse "as is lacrosse." Naturally enough the probabilities are that the Montreal men will score a victory, for their summer practice cannot fail to tell against the three months of inaction through which our team has passed. The recent work of the college players has, however, been so effective that they may fairly be expected to exhibit something of the snap and energy which characterized their work as a team last season.

The city press is only too glad to magnify the most trivial college scrapes until they assume the dignified proportions of a riot, as many of our sister colleges can testify, and as the Boston press reports...
...revision of the foot-ball rules has wrought a complete change in the character of the game, and has done away with many, if not all, of its objectionable features. Under the new order of things we fail to see how the authorities can find grounds for continuing their prohibition of the sport. We look forward with confidence to a removal of the interdict which has lain upon the game since last fall. The alterations in the code have, apparently, done everything that can be done to reduce rough and ungentlemanly play to a minimum. That the college may become...
