...great deal of inconvenience to the class crews is caused by the delay which is shown in singles, pairs, and the class crews themselves in putting the boats into the water and leaving the float. There is the same delay in returning to the float and in putting the boats in their rests. Often two crews stand ready to go down to the float, and are kept waiting several minutes through the clumsiness with which some men try to put their oars in place, and by the general lack of concerted work. Would it not be well for the captains...
...Friday, while one of the class crews was on the float getting ready to get into their boat, which was already in the water, the 'Varsity came up to the float, and the class boat had to be pushed out of the way and held there, till the 'Varsity had taken their boat out of the water and carried it off the float.

After this little introduction, they all go on to smile upon those who have smiled on them, or to pour floods of weak sarcasm-and-water on the head of the Niagara Index.

Greater difficulties, it is true, must be overcome.

Moreover, they have three of last year's crew, and their winter practice has put them in good form already. Hardly as much can be said of our crew. Their feathering...
...these maiden collegians, I was startled by a slight cough, and upon looking up I found myself in the immediate presence of a very young and pretty girl, who was sitting reading, or pretending to read, at the foot of a large maple-tree whose branches overhung the water. Being a Boston man, my first impulse was to beg pardon for my unintentional intrusion, and beat a hasty retreat; but, upon perceiving my intention, the maiden, somewhat to my surprise, remarked, with more amiability than grammatical accuracy, "Wal, you ain't a-going, are you? Do I look dangerous?" Here...
