...beginning, though at the end there is a tendency to settle. The bow is apt to roll, but with this exception the crew row in excellent form. Weld should perhaps be mentioned next to Holworthy, although there is no doubt that Matthews will press her hard for the second place. Weld rows a more finished stroke than Matthews, but the crew appears to lack material. Matthews has more strength than form, the boat rolls, and the men do not keep time as a six-oar crew should. No. 5 dips his oar too deep, and the bow is quite...
PHILOSOPHY 6 (Advanced Political Economy), which appears on the scheme of electives for next year, is a new course, and offers a second year of study on this subject for those who pass in either of the two courses which have been given this year.

As a whole the farce was decidedly well done. The double quartette followed this farce with several College songs, all of which were well received by the audience. The singing showed that the members had bestowed considerable practice on the pieces and that there are several good voices in the Society. The entertainment concluded with "Pipkins's Rustic Retreat," in which Mr. Sargent had ample opportunity to do himself justice...
