The president not desiring such a thing to become a custom, was at a loss how best to break up this practice. At last one evening, as he was walking along the sidewalk and the students were sitting on the fence singing, etc., the president said : "Gentlemen - Allow me to congratulate you on having adopted the Yale custom."

We are in receipt of a communication berating the lack of enterprise shown in Cambridge, in that there is no place where boats may be hired by the hour for use on the Charles river for rowing and sailing. It should be remembered that men who wish to indulge in this recreation can have the use of the club boats at the boat-house upon payment of a small fee. But still it would be a great convenience for those who only desire a few hours' use of boats during the entire season if it were possible to hire light pleasure boats by the hour. Why does not Mr. Blaikie put some boats on the water and let them out in this way.
