...reality only guide-posts to cul-de-sacs. The quiet, well-dressed men, who are among the first to join the Athletic Association, are sure to be desirable acquaintances. Be sure, too, to know the captains of your nine and crew, and that so intimately that you call them "old fellow!" That has been an open sesame to popularity for generations past.

Ever since 1875, when Harvard's representatives consented to the establishment of an annual eight-oared Harvard-Yale race, the unvarying custom of the Yale Boat Club has been to concentrate all its resources on that race; and this policy has now hardened into...
