...pleasantest features in the athletic annals of the year. The races for senior eights are generally well contested, and the crews, though hastily gotten together, often row in really good form. The race between freshman eights serve the same purpose as does the clown in a circus. It is to be hoped, however, that the eighty-nine crews will not be wrought to such a pitch of enthusiasm as to attempt to drive their boats through the sea wall, as did the freshman crews of last year.
