...believe the University crew acts wisely in not commencing to train until after the Christmas holidays. The men obtain a respite from monotonous training, and have an opportunity of playing foot-ball in the fall. It the 'Varsity can afford to hold off as long as they do, we think that the class crews should postpone their training even further; for the race they row is a short one and unimportant in comparison with the 'Varsity race...

We congratulate our contemporary upon its gratifying success...

Of course here and there through the country, at the smaller universities, there can be found one man or more who has made his name known in his particular branch, but nowhere else in this country is there, we think, such a number of eminent professors...
