...first official time trial of the first University crew was made yesterday, when under ideal weather conditions with an ebb tide of about two hours and a following wind of ten knots, four miles were covered in 19 minutes, 43 seconds, which beats the Yale time by over a minute. The second University paced Crew A over the first two miles and nosed out a victory, but C. C.

This is a possibility; and every effort should be made to effect it before compulsory membership is definitely adopted. In the meantime a vote of the undergraduates should be held to determine their attitude for a firmer working basis. The Student Council's vote otherwise forces the grave danger of being unrepresentative...
