Next fall, if the transfer of the club property from Mr. Blakey to the students is completed, and if the arrangement proposed in this plan is carried out, a stronger boating interest, than ever might confidently be expected. Every one feels more or less imposed upon when obliged, after liberally subscribing for the crew, to pay an additional sum m order to obtain entrance to the boat-house, and yet another, and heavier, in order...
