...committee consisting of Mr. Alexander Agassiz, Mr. George Roberts, Mr. Trimble, President, and Mr. Allen, Secretary of the Club. The language used in connection with this subject by a certain graduate, in reference to a gentleman who has been kind enough to interest himself in our crew's success, was entirely out of place and uncalled for. The meeting adjourned with cheers for Colonel Henry Russell, who has given a voucher of $5,000 of the $10,000, and for Mr. Roberts, who has been very energetic in systematizing plans and securing the needed funds...

...feel certain that the gentlemen of the Committee who have so kindly given this permission will have no cause for regret, and will find the privilege in no way abused.

In many of the other races better...

...games of the Athletic Association last Saturday were very good as regards sport, and brilliant as regards audience.

...early in the year to tell whether the employing of janitors and their corps of assistants, vice goodies, is a success, and we do not intend to fall into the error of making any bold assertions about the matter just yet; merely a suggestion or so will be enough. Some have complained that the rooms are not well taken care of by the new goodies, and there is ground for the complaint.
