...article which we published recently concerning the freshman nine seems already to have had the desired effect of awakening the energies of the then nearly dormant nine, and of bringing before it a correct idea of what the college has a right to expect that it will accomplish this spring. The number of candidates almost immediately doubled and all set to work with an energy and vim which was truly admirable, but only suggestive of the great difficulties which will have to be overcome if a respectable nine is to be placed in the field this year. The system...
...expected later, men who at present are either among the 'Varsity candidates, or, for one reason or another, are not rowing. Of last year's '90 crew, Herrick, the stroke, is now out West, but will be in his old place shortly. Hutchinson, who rowed seven, will also begin right away. Tilton, six, and Slocum, 5, are with the 'Varsity candidates, and Sears, who rowed four at New London, is not a candidate this year. Sanford, who pulled at three, is now under Captain Pfeiffer, and Matthews, two, has decided not to row this year. This leaves Crehore, the present...

True, this influence is only one of many; but where the other attractions would have no effect athletic victories...
...While there is a good line here and there, it is lost in the effect of the whole, which impresses one rather as an attempt at versifying than as a piece of poetry. "The Templar's Song" is very musical and is full of martial notes. It sets us right in the midst of the Crusades. This poem breathes more healthy life and has much more blood in its veins, if I may so express myself, than much else that we have seen from the pen of the same writer...
