...this is extremely necessary if the project of going to England to row with Oxford is entertained. If they go there it will take from $6,000 to $10,000, and the Yale alumni don't want to go to that expense unless they are sure they can send over a winning crew. If Yale is not dispirited and disheartened this year at foot-ball, and if the University crew shows up in good form the English boys many have a chance to test the excellence of the Yale crew.- N. Y.

...both Yale and Harvard could have defeated Cambridge this summer, if our English friends had come over here. We will have a pretty good crew this year, and I think that we could give a good account of ourselves if we went over to the old country. I am sure that the alumni would subscribe liberally, and that there would be no lack of funds to pay expenses. Such a race, if won by Yale, would probably be the first of a series of international contests, somewhat similar to the yacht races of the past few years. It would increase...
...back, Graves, '91. Of these Wallace, Gill, Corbin, Woodruff, Beecher and Morrison were on last year's team. Cross was substitute on last year's crew and gives promise of being a valuable man.

Graves, '88 and Graves '91 are both new men and give promise of being valuable acquisitions to the team. They are both good runners and dodgers, but neither has acquired...
...long and laborious work at some difficult course they find a man who is their inferior in some other branch of work, far ahead of them in marks. The rule is impolitic, as it is a standing invitation to take only such courses as one feel he is reasonably sure of a good grade in. A man who has received high marks for two or three years hardly cares to court a D by taking a subject that he realizes he may get that mark on,- no matter though the course be both desirable and beneficial. The rule stands...
...very glad to do what I can to correct the statements of the news papers about the cost of living at Harvard. They are far from the truth. I can give my expenses within ten dollars, I am sure: freshman year, almost exactly $400; junior year, about $600; senior year, $750. Scholarships have always paid my term bills, and some thing more...
