...first place, it seems to some of the officers of the clubs that the present system is not a success, and that no amount of energy on their part can keep it going; the original contract with Blakey provides that each of the four clubs shall contain fifty-five members, all paid up, at the rate of fifteen dollars per annum. This has by no means been the case at any time since the starting of the system. The boat-house and boats have not proved to be attractive enough to induce many to make use of them except just...
...watching the crews, and using the six and four oars when the crews are not using them. For those who wish to train the attractions are greatly increased, the prizes are to be quite valuable, worth possibly between eight or ten dollars apiece, one for each man of the first winning crew. There is a likelihood of our spring races occurring in conjunction with those of the Union Boat Club; having one or more races in common, and others distinct.

We have no time before the period of examination commences, since all of it is, or ought to be, taken up in the preparation of our regular recitations. So, when the fatal week comes on, totally unprepared...

We believe that the trouble does not lie with the system itself, which was founded, after careful study, by men experienced in college boating and which, by the success of its first year, proved its excellence as a system. During that year good crews were carefully got together and good races rowed, and it was shown that, under these circumstances, enough rivalry existed to render the races amply interesting and the seats in a club six eagerly sought for. Had the same...
