...majority of the old men have not yet started to train, though the weight and hammer men are now practicing. The squad of walkers is unusually large and in fact larger than any previous year and the outlook for some fast men is very bright. It is gratifying to note the number of candidates for the pole vault, as in previous years the interest in this contest was not very great. At present the men are training on the outdoor board track, but as soon as the weather permits, they will be out on the cinder path. Quite a number...

In this note, the attention of the parents is directed to the fact that the rule of "continuous residence in Cambridge during term-time" is obligatory...
...will be seen by the above that the average weight of each crew is 161lbs. It is also interesting to note that Weed, Crane, de Rochemont, and Davis of the first crew are all new men, none of them having rowed before. Bell, Breckenridge and Blake have had the advantage of considerable training last year.
