...boat. When the spring season started late in February after the resignation of Captain Severance on account of illness, there were still six veterans on the crew. L. Withington, Jr., '11 having taken Severance's place at 5, the crew remained in this order until the sudden change of a week ago. With six experienced oars in the boat and two of the best oars from last year's winning Freshman crew, the development of the crew was naturally very rapid. There was not the trouble-some problem of finding a stroke, and the eight was apparently seated...
...gone, the stroke was considerably shortened, and Sargent did not regain his form. In the first few days at New London the crew improved materially and seemed to be emerging from its slump, but the work was still not what it should be. On Friday, June 18, the sudden, though not entirely unexpected, change came.

Frothingham, Jr., '02 arrived in the afternoon and will take his place until his return in a few days...
...could not cure the servant girl's earache. The pain, proved to be caused by an ant which was brought out by means of a ladle of water. The story is well told. "Un Roi de France" and "The Hoss-Thief" are tales of murder and sudden death. In the first, one does not fully sympathize with Pierre in his heroic calm while the flames of the burning building licked his feet. But "then mercifully, he fainted," which, of course, makes his end less horrible. The story of the "hoss-thief" is told thirty years afterward with appropriate scenic effects...
