...THREE of the Class Nines - Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen - are already hard at work, and the prospect for an exciting contest is indeed encouraging. '81 has taken hold of the project with a commendable enthusiasm, that was scarcely to be expected, considering the large number of men she has contributed to the 'Varsity and Class crews.

The Seniors held last Monday a meeting of those interested in this subject; but, as only four gentlemen were present, they adjourned. The general lack of interest evinced by the small attendance at this meeting has compelled the Seniors to abandon the project of competing for the prize. Eighty-one from the beginning has shown...
