...sake of an imagined advantage, should the crew select of three possible dates, the one which is so little justifiable? Why should it not have more regard for the interests of the student body and for its own interests? For the interests of the crew and the interests of the students are, or at least should be, inseparable. These interests demand that the race be rowed June 23 or June 24, preferably the former.

...suggestions in the Report carried out to the full unless all our college rivals should, at the same time, act upon similar suggestions. Yet if all colleges could be induced to look upon athletics with more of the English university spirit of "sport for sport's sake," guided by which training is much less strict and severe and the coach and members of one university crew watch the daily practice of another without the least thought of unfairness, then we believe all would be satisfied with the change.

(n) The scanty currency of Mexico and Central America (97,000,000,000) would not be depleted for our sake. (z) They would suffer more than they could possibly gain by sending in their silver. (o) The silver of the rest of the world (1,700,000,000) would not injure us. (z) It probably would not come at all. (y) If it did it would only come in exchange for American products...
