...meeting. Six nominations were made: Albert Lee, Grosvenor Atterbury, L. H. Tucker, Jr., R. B. Smith, H. T. Kingsley, and T. S. Hart, but the last named withdrew. The five remaining men were unanimously elected; but the elections must be ratified by the '90 board before becoming valid...
...that the action of the amusement committee on the proposed Christmas trip cooled the interest of the members, and the second is that many men in the Glee club expect to sing in the Hasty Padding theatricals, and cannot give time to both clubs. Neither of these reasons is valid. Before last year the club never went on a Christmas tour and the local concerts were quite sufficient to keep up a strong interest in the rehearsals. The disappointment this year was undoubtedly discouraging, but the success of the two concerts given since Christmas shows that its effect...
...attitude of Cornell relative to the refusal of Harvard and Yale to row her crew is hardly sound to say the least. There are two valid reasons for the refusal. Neither Harvard nor Yale can be expected to enter a three cornered race or to row two races. In view of these facts it is hardly to be supposed that either will forfeit its engagement with the other in order to enter a race with Cornell, particularly when the interest of both colleges and of the country centres upon the Harvard and Yale race more than upon any one event...
Speaking generally there seems to us no valid reason why Harvard should not have a successful team this year as well as any year. Her facilities for practice are certainly as good as those of any other college, and her amount of amount of possible material clearly greater. All that is needed, therefore, is a little real energy.

By neglecting to send a team this year we reduce materially our chances of winning...
...will of course request a freshman race, as will also Yale. That is to be taken for granted. The question, then, is of a choice between the two, since it is not likely our crew will consent to row a three cornered race. Now there seems to us no valid reason why Harvard should row Columbia this year. The record of Harvard-Columbia freshman races shows an easy superiority for Harvard. In addition to this our defeat of two years ago-the only special argument which Columbia can now pretend to urge-was completely wiped out by the victory...
