...work in the performance. The best handling of a part, however, is that of R. Wellman '03, who impersonates John Class, the antiquarian. The part is the most difficult in the play and it is rendered with a cleverness which is enhanced by a distinct enunciation. If one especial fault is to be found with the other principals, it is an inattention to the matter of enunciation...
...outcome of the race between the Sophomore crews this afternoon is rather doubtful; a slight advantage probably rests with the Weld crew, which has been together longer than its opponent. The chief fault to be found with the Weld crew is that it fails to get a powerful and finished stroke. J. H. Perkins '98 has been coaching them. The Newell Sophomores have been coached by H. Bullard '02. They seem unable to keep up a high stroke, but are rowing well together...
...serious verse--the kind of verse which, because it calls for the application of greater powers than the usual poems of lighter verse, more often bears the stamp of maturity and permanence.

The editorials are timely and pointed, but beside these, the prose in the issue merits little praise...
...work of the Senior crews have so far been rather lifeless. The Weld crew is, perhaps, a trifle the faster and rows better together. The Weld Juniors have the common fault of not finishing the stroke well and are also slow at the catch. The Newell Juniors have a tendency to rush their slides and also hang at the catch. Irregularity in attendance has been harmful to the Weld Sophomores. They nevertheless row well together, but fail to get a powerful and finished stroke. The Newell Sophomores are making a fair showing, but have most of the faults noticeable...
...evening. Although the team has failed to develop the fast and smooth team play which might be expected at the close of the season, the work last night showed considerable improvement over the crude playing in the early part of the week. The men pass fairly well, the chiefs faults in this particular being a tendency to neglect chances for long, open throws. This fault often serves to give the opposing team time to cover thoroughly before the ball reaches the vicinity of the goal and thus makes difficult a throw which, had it been made in the first place...
