If the course is proved unsuitable, then the matter is decided once for all. There are many men amongst us who think that it is undesirable to have another yearly contest with Yale. We have, perhaps, enough already. But to assert as a reason for refusal that such a contest will give Yale the same advantages which we have, is to cast reflections upon the ability of our 'Varsity teams to cope...
...even last Saturday, in the harmonious foot-ball convention, have assumed a more manly and straightforward spirit. Why should there be an exception in the case of rowing?

But we should like to draw attention especially to two of these so-called "outside things," the Boylston prize speaking and the many phases of athletics. Now is the time for everybody to think of going in for an elocution prize or an athletic cup. These are two of the chances for a man to broaden himself. Social engagements, newspaper work and the like, we have "always with us," but not the great spring athletic contests, and the opportunity of making ourselves Demostheneses...
