...there would be half an hour of cool weather gained; and half an hour at a time when it would do a great deal of good. If a man can only start his work with a cool head, it does not make so much difference if it does grow warmer afterwards, for he has got into the line of thinking, and he is apt to run on somewhat mechanically. But the extra half hour at the start makes a great deal of difference...
They have in mind, we believe, two schemes between which to choose. The first is, during the warmer months, say October, part of November, April, May and June, to have chapel exercises begin at 8.15 and recitations at 8.30; and to give only a half-hour at noon for luncheon. They propose in this way to gain the hour. During the winter months recitations would change back to nine o'clock and the hour would be gained, half at noon, as before, and half in the afternoon, by holding recitations till 4.30, a half hour later. Such is the first...
...boats have been taken out. There has been a complaint because there is no water in the bath rooms. The water will not be turned on while it stays so cold for fear that it will freeze in the pipes; but as soon as the weather grows a little warmer the water will be turned into the pipes. Everything at the boat house is in first-class condition and it looks now as though this spring would see the house a scene of even greater activity than it was last year...
...colds. There is no way effectually to do away with this dampness within a reasonable cost, and we suspect that the baseball players will be forced to stand it the rest of this season. An attempt has been made to carry on the practice of the batteries in some warmer place, but no fit place can be found. The baseball men lay great store by the practice they get during the winter, so that it is a matter of no small moment that they are obliged to work under these unfavorable conditions...
These faults in the boat will probably prevent the crew from using her until the weather is warmer-about the end of March. This is unfortunate for the crew this year depends more than most crews upon the coaching they receive. The men are not expected to think for themselves or to be able to improve, except under the eye of a coach. If they had the launch out at the earliest possible minute, say March 1, the coaching could be done to much greater advantage. Many of the crew men are already impatient that such fine weather...
