...intention of the Harvard Club of New York to test the question whether graduates non-residents of Massachusetts are eligible to membership in the Board of Overseers, touches a subject of interest to all connected with the University. It appears that this is not the first time that this question has been discussed. In 1873, when ex-President Hill, who was then an Overseer, thought of removing to Maine, it was his opinion that inhabitancy in Maine would not render him ineligible; but the Board of Overseers, acting in accordance with the advice of Messrs. E. R. Hoar...
...think, for instance, that the following would wholly satisfy the captious Edwin: "Any member who is guilty of any misconduct or gross violation of any rule, or for non-payment of dues may be expelled." Or the following, where the sense is slightly obscured by a misplaced comma: "The foil must be thirty-four inches long, .... and be unattached to the hand or wrist by cord or string, to prevent "being disarmed."

...will probably be a mile and a half straightaway, like all the other races of the N. A. A. O.; and that definite decisions as to these two points, and as to the exact days of the regatta, may be expected by March 15. The probabilities are that the non-collegiate amateur races (which undergraduates may compete in if they wish) will extend through the three days immediately following the day of the college races, and will be contested by oarsmen "representing all the prominent rowing clubs from Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico, from Massachusetts to Michigan...
...races are to be rowed either at Newark or Saratoga, during the first week of July, and on the day preceding the regular annual regatta of the association, which regatta the college crews are also invited to enter, in case they wish to test their prowess against that of non-collegiate amateurs. It is probable, also, that a fourth prize will be offered, in the college regatta, for six-oared boats rowed by class crews, for it is believed that such a race would have many advantages over one confined exclusively to Freshmen. The spring regattas which are always held...
