...plain from the crew manager's report at the freshman class meeting yesterday that Ninety-four is in a bad way. So serious an aspect have affairs taken that it seems doubtful whether the freshmen shall be allowed to go to New London. That such a doubt can exist for a moment is a disgrace to the class which is responsible for the present crisis. There is no use now, however, in blaming the class for what it has neglected to do.

What was the cause of success in one case and of failure in the other, may not have been clear to us at the time. Now, however it certainly is plain enough, It was a settled system of training which brought us success track athletics; it was the lack of it which was largely responsible for our failure in other sports...
