...education their ratification by the Harvard Faculty shows them to have some bearing on the question of collegiate education. At the Convention of the Association held in Cambridge last fall, President Eliot was an enthusiastic promoter of most of changes which the Association finally voted to suggest. The general sentiment of the convention was that a great deal of time was wasted in the grammar schools over subjects of a more elementary nature, and that the taking up of certain other subjects was put off too long.

Thus by the unwritten laws of boating, it is Yale's turn to challenge. There is a general sentiment against rowing Cornell, not arising from the success of the latter's crews, but rather from the fact that they draw their material from the first-year men of all departments, while Columbia takes men from the undergraduate courses of the Arts and Mines. These are much younger and lighter than...
