...speedily leave this soulless being and enter a room in which the book-case shows us a row or two of text-books in admirable condition, and a shelf of nicely bound standard works, such as Shakspere, Milton, Macaulay, and so forth. The books all stand exactly upright, each one is in its proper place, and not a speck of dust can be seen on any of them. On seeing such a book-case in a room, I immediately look to see if my boots have left any mud on the carpet, I feel uncomfortable about my umbrella, and wish...
...good effect of the unusually long practice last fall can easily be seen this spring in the rowing, which is much better than that of a year ago; and if the crew can keep the immense advantage they have already obtained over their immediate predecessors, it will be a long step toward closing that terrible gap of June 30; but this can only be done by the greatest care and perseverance on the part of each individual in the boat. With the exception of stroke, they lack strength on the catch, and almost every man uses his arms too soon...

...warning given in the last issue of the Record, that unless the requisite funds can be secured no race will be rowed with Harvard this year, ought not to be disregarded. Two weeks of the time within which the sum must be raised have already passed. Within the coming fortnight additional exertions will be made, that the old-time struggle may be enacted again next June. It is needless to reiterate the claims which this matter has on the consideration of the College. Every man ought spontaneously to recognize the misfortune which a refusal to row our doughty antagonist would...
...training a supply of oarsmen from which to select candidates for the University, and on this subject much has been written; but, strangely enough, the most vital point has been entirely neglected, viz. the proper coaching of the men in the club crews. They have been taught to row in such bad form and on such wrong principles that, on becoming candidates for the University, they are actually at a disadvantage when compared with the tyros. To obviate this, the captain of the University authorizes us to say, that he will be most glad to teach the captains...
