...management of the boating interests should be intrusted solely to us. There is certainly some force in these arguments, but it is in the power of the graduates to deprive them of their force. The support of the crew is a burden which the undergraduates are very ready to share with the graduates, and the experience of those who have been here before us would undoubtedly be of benefit to our boating interests. The Executive Committee of the H. U. B. C. would do well to consider, with a view to its adoption here, a plan which is in operation...

The Freshman, naturally shy about speaking before his unknown classmates, thinks that the easiest way will be to put all his interests in the hands of an executive committee, whose only relation with him henceforth...
