Early last week the second Freshman crew and the remainder of the squad were divided up into three four-oars, several different combinations being tried. The two fours stroked by Howell and Trumbull seem to be the fastest, and at 2.30 o'clock this afternoon they will race the first and second fours respectively of Middlesex School, Concord, over the half-mile course in the long stretch above the boathouse...
...long been felt that there is altogether too much written work required of the average undergraduate at Harvard College. In some lecture courses, theses are absolutely essential as there is no other method, except the examinations, of testing the students' ability, but in many other courses it does seem that reports and conference papers are crowded on us in too great profusion.

The greatest praise we can give the members of the University team for gaining this position is to say that a few months ago very few thought they could possibly be victorious. It was only by the hardest kind of work on the part of both athletes and coaches that a well-rounded team was developed, and as the season progressed the results of this consistent effort were plainly shown. Although we were defeated by Yale two weeks...
...been said by members of former graduating classes that the Senior picnic was one of the most enjoyable features of the life of the class. We cannot vouch for the truth of this statement, but it would seem that this occasion, if participated in by the majority of the Seniors, could be made vastly entertaining. It is the one time of a college career that a class ventures en masse to the sea-shore to disport itself to the best of its ability for a whole day. Let not the occasion be made a failure by the absence...
