...resolved that the stipulation insisting on a man's joining a club for not less than one year be removed, and that every one be allowed the use of the boats from the present date till June 30 on the payment of $ 6.50. This change opens the way for the formation next year of an University Club, - when our debts are paid, - and offers the use of boats and club-house for the remainder of the year at the lowest possible figure...

Any one winning the cup should have his name engraved upon it, each time he won, and, after being won three successive times by the same man, it should become his private property. The distance in each case should be such as to equalize, as much as possible, the chances of the sprinter and the long-distance man. A Hundred-Yard Challenge Cup would prove very popular, as comparatively little training would be required...
