...University Nine voted on Monday to change the present style of their uniform by substituting knickerbockers and crimson stockings for long trousers. Some objection was made to discarding a uniform so long worn by the Nine, but the greater convenience of the stockings was considered a sufficient reason for making the change. The original gray cloth with trimmings of the College color will still be used...
...Association is made up at present of fourteen colleges, differing greatly in size and in the extent of their resources; and while three or four are abundantly supplied with men and money for sending crews, the majority have the greatest difficulty in meeting their crews' expenses.

In the second place, although Juniors have had frequent calls for contributions made upon them during the past month, still at present they are less subject to these demands than at other...
