...sketches of the careers of men since graduation, lists of marriages, births and deaths, and two tables of "intended occupations" and present occupations placed side by side. These reports are placed in the college library, but are not for general inspection. The incomes received by Harvard graduates are very hard to estimate. It may be said approximately that when about thirty years of age or ten years after leaving college about twenty-five per cent. receive from $4,000 to $6,000; fifty per cent from $2,500 to $4,000; the remainder from...
...candidates for the Yale 'varsity crew are now hard at work under the direction of Captain Allen, and Rogers, '90 S., both of whom rowed in last year's boat. Brewster, '91, who will row, is a well-known oarsman and will be one of the strongest men in the boat. Hartwell and Gill refuse to row this year, and although they are being urged on all sides to change their minds, there is no prospect of their doing so. By their refusal only three old men will be left in the boat, and Captain Allen has the task...

They have been so far rowing with their arms straight without sliding. No men have shown themselves so good as be sure of a place on the sight and changes are made almost daily in the order of the crews...
...rowing just at present. Although the river is open the crew is at work in the gymnasium on account of the influenza. They simply row a few strokes on the machine every day and afterwards take a long run. There is some danger that it will be hard to get a boat to suit the crew; for a great deal of the weight will be toward the stern. There seems to be no good stroke at hand except Goddard who weighs 180 pounds. It is likely that another very heavy man will row No. 6, so that there will...
