...some time past we have been hearing the usual complaints of the poor financial support which the freshmen are giving their crew; and now a direct appeal from the management comes to us. He needs one thousand dollars more in subscriptions, and the class doesn't seem disposed to give it. The question appears to be a very simple one: Is the crew to go to New London or not? Unless the money is raised by a certain time, the athletic committee has said that the crew shall not go to New London. That decision seems to be clear enough...

Green '92 also did very well, beating his own record by several inches by jumping 5 feet 11 7-8 inches. Fearing had already won his heat in the 75 yards dash...
This plan of centralization in athletics is the one to be worked up and perfected during the next few years. The various athletic managements of the University already seem to be working with such a plan in view, and the interests of every branch demand such a centralization. We hope even to see, before a long time, the management of all the athletics of the University under one head-not an undergraduate...
