...colleges in this country. After such a thorough discussion as took place on the question of the "regulations" among our students, such a knowledge of many points was gained as would be of much value in any general inter-collegiate convention. Moreover our students would like to learn the opinions of their fellows at other colleges. They cannot do this better than by meeting them on common grounds and talking the whole matter over and looking at it as other students are compelled to. To look at athletics from every standpoint which effects the American student will be a means...
EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON.-I was surprised to learn by a short article in the HERALD-CRIMSON recently, how many graduates of Harvard on Massachusetts newspapers were also graduates of the college papers. I knew, indeed, every one of the men mentioned, and their present positions, but like those who live nearest any odd or fine work of nature and for that very reason never realize the wonder of the scene as perfectly as do visitors from a distance, I possessed no definite realization of the part which the college papers have done in fitting men for journalistic work...

It will again make determined efforts to secure the passage of the regulations in a modified form, however, so that they will meet with the approval of enough colleges to give them binding force. Meanwhile the students, we presume, are expected to occupy...
...boating men that the Harvard system of retaining the services of graduate oarsmen by giving them a voice in the selection and training of the crew gave the Harvard crew a very decided advantage over our own. For however good an oarsman an undergraduate may be, he may always learn from the wider experience of the 'old crew man.' Again and again in our boating history has the entire responsibility of deciding on the stroke and of selecting and training the crew, proved too much of a strain on a captain already doing a man's work in the boat...
