...1892.Last week Acton, who has been rowing at No. 6, was taken sick and has not been able to row since. His illness is not any more serious than to keep him from rowing for a few days at least. It is impossible so far as I can learn to know what causes his illness. The crew has been rearranged by placing Waters at No. 3, Winthrop at No. 6, Cummings at No. 5, Rantoul at No. 4, and Bond No. 2.

...college did not show that they cared enough for the existence of their crew to back up the glee club and contribute even the price of a ticket. The concert may have come at a bad time of the year it is true, but the college must learn some time or other that if it ever wants to accomplish anything it will have to undergo a little self-sacrifice. There probably is not a man in Harvard who would not call it the greatest shame if the crew were prevented from going to New London merely because the students were...
