...during the last two months received and considered several plans for improving the quality and quantity of the courts in future, and the plan which has been determined upon. And which we trust will meet the approval of all, is given below. It has been devised by ourselves and somewhat amended by the Athletic Committee of the Faculty...
...wrist near the machine should be held slightly curved upward, so as to shorten the corresponding arm; the elbows should be held close to the side, when the arms are bent; the swing forward should be extended until the hands are above the toes, (this distance, however, varies somewhat with individuals); the body should always swing directly over the keel of the boat, never swerving to either side.

But just at this critical time, the Juniors and Sophomores are fiddled with dismay at the announcement that a theme will be required from them on Wednesday next. Well, the ingenuity displayed by our instructors in selecting inopportune moments for springing...
