...PHILANTHROPIST in doubt where to invest his money for the greatest good of the public would have had his doubts dispelled if he had passed the Bursar's Office at any time on Tuesday night. The sight of nearly a dozen men sitting up all night to secure some of the poorest rooms in college because they could get none in any other way, would have moved a heart of stone, to say nothing of the heart of a philanthropist. Unfortunately no philanthropist passed by, and the prospect of new dormitories is as far off as ever...
...start was pretty fair, and none tried too hard for the lead. Matthews rolled badly, and showed neither uniformity nor individual good rowing. None of the crews "sat" their boat well, but there was some very clean and precise rowing, for second crews, in the other three boats. The steering of the Holworthy and Weld coxswains was remarkably good, up the course especially, both crews leaving a perfectly straight path behind them, while the wakes of Matthews, and more particularly of Holyoke, showed by their many crooks the excitement and want of practice of the hands that held the tiller...
...time as possible to the personal correction and explanation of the exercises. But such labor must be met by corresponding accuracy on the part of the student. Writing Latin is not a mystery that can be communicated. It is to be acquired only by practice, and constant reading of good models. This course, therefore, should only be taken in connection with another elective or extra in Latin, except in those cases - unfortunately too rare - where a student is willing to undertake the reading of considerable Latin by himself. It is hardly a course for those who wish to "keep...
...start was not good, though not bad enough to justify calling the boats back. Weld was backing, and did not seem to hear the word...
...crews rowed pretty well within themselves at first, none of the strokes apparently trying for the lead, though it would perhaps have been the best policy for Holyoke, for the crew, not being well together, though made up of men in good training, could not possibly row a stern race, but might do very well with the encouragement of being ahead, and perhaps might discourage or unnerve the crews behind. It is a game not often successful, but is the only one to be tried in such a case. Cambridge tried it this year, and although...
