...wish to call the attention of all crews and single-scullers to the necessity of keeping a clear course on the river for the University Crew. The lively interest which has been lately aroused in boating has caused the river to be somewhat crowded at the hour when the Crew rows, and it is, perhaps, almost impossible to avoid an occasional accident.

Even if this were true, it would be a valid objection only if the purpose of honors were to furnish a subject for undergraduate boast; but, as a fact, they have a definite and much more sensible work to do, - they are intended to furnish inducements to study. And the question is not whether the new honors...
