...sophomores are at present rowing in the best form of any of the class crews. Their oars fall well together, and considering the fact that there are four new men in the boat, they have made good progress since they began work on the river.

The most remarkable instance of the progress made in girls' colleges toward a complete equality with other colleges was furnished the other day by the girls of Stalace Female College, in Ohio, by a hotly contested back-hair rush between the sophomores and the freshmen...
