...interest which the members of the Faculty have shown in athletics since the issue of "those tickets" is surprising...
...MEETING of the Executive Committee was held last Wednesday evening, and one or two points of general interest were discussed. After Mr. Weld, '76, had been elected to fill the position on the Regatta Committee, and Mr. Roberts, '71, and Mr. Heminway, '77, to be the two judges, the question as to whether or not a single-sculler should be sent to Saratoga was brought up.

Having got the crews together, the race could be started on time. This is the object to be aimed at; for then the crews could row in heats, and thus with two stake-boats all chances of fouling one another would...
