...coaches and others connected with college rowing, which were gathered by the Yale News; and appeared in an article in that publication which dealt with the subject, are interesting and authoritative. Of the letters received, the number of those which were against the shortening of the race was slightly larger than that of those in favor of the proposed shortening of the distance...
...faculty of Yale College has voted that honor courses be established, beginning September, 1915. The purpose of these courses will be to provide the serious student with a larger opportunity for work in his chosen field; and in doing so, to bring him in closer personal contact with his instructors. But it is believed that the courses will benefit not only the men who elect them, but also the college itself. Yale as other colleges, renders her best service to the country in sending out highly trained men; accordingly the more thorough the training Yale undergraduates receive, the more effective...

Fall crew was highly satisfactory. Development of the second-string and 1917 men was very necessary to the eight, as a larger percentage of men was lost by graduation in this sport than in either of the other two. The four-oar crew men remaining in college are Sturtevant 15S., number 5, Sheldon '15S., number 4, Low '16, bow, and McLane '16, coxswain.
