Some of the debt of the Boat Club, as it stood on November 1st, 1887-amounting to $2,187.28-has been paid, and propositions for paying off the rest as rapidly as possible are under consideration. A statement of that whole matter will be made shortly...
Nothing is more painful to a delicately-strung nature-and the nature of all Harvard men are delicately strung-than to hear a woman confess that she has been in the wrong. If this statement is perfectly true, every reader of yesterday's CRIMSON must have suffered as he read the communication from Wellesley which we reprinted from University.

There is a great deal of truth in the statement that the failure of men to attend the meetings at which the officers are elected throws a large share of the responsibility of whatever mismanagement there may be on their own shoulders. The position that the Advocate takes in regard to the Glee Club is one that all of us would like to see adopted by the faculty...
