...seems almost incredible that just cause of complaint can be found in regard to the support of the victorious '92 crew by the class. As we understand the case, not a few men have refused to subscribe at all; and many others who have been liberal enough in their promises have been alarmingly slow in paying up. But a short time remains before the term ends; and as the crew management has heavy bills to meet, it is absolutely necessary that the men pay immediately what they have bound themselves to give. Ninety-two ought to have had enough experience...
...forced to the conclusion that the amount and quality of the material are totally inadequate.

...senior class nine in the game yesterday? He has been playing on the 'varsity nine very frequently this year; has received a uniform for the 'varsity; has been eating at the 'varsity training table; and on Monday occupied the 'varsity bench as a regular substitute in the game. I understand that the protest against him by the junior captain was not allowed. In view of these circumstances it would be interesting to know why not. It would prevent much misunderstanding and perhaps some hard feeling if Captain Dean would enlighten...
