...article in another column in which a contributor discusses the advisability of the Freshmen rowing races with other Freshmen crews. The writer seems to us to prove successfully that the advantages of such races do not offset the expense incurred in carrying them out, and that now that class races afford ample opportunity for initiating Freshmen in rowing, the necessity of meeting outsiders for the purpose of practice in racing is almost wholly done away with. We are aware that the advocates of outside contests urge that the more experience a man has in racing the better he will...
BEFORE long '84 will, in all probability, receive a challenge from Columbia to row a race in Freshman eights. In view of this, we wish to show '84 that Freshman racing outside of the College is advantageous neither to the College at large, the University Crew, nor the class itself. In the first place, we must say, that because '83 Harvard defeated '83 Columbia, there is no reason why '84 Columbia should feel bound to challenge our Freshmen; nor need our Freshmen feel bound to accept if they do receive a challenge. '84 was practically no part of either college...
...reason for a race with Cornell, as then there were no class races here to bring out her men for the 'Varsity. Some may say that an outside race will bring out more men than a class race. This, we think, is not so, as some men who do not wish to row for so long a time, might be willing to row till the middle of May, when the class races come. Thus are removed the only reasons for an outside Freshman race, unless it is that they wish to spread their wings, and that can be done...
...class races, as said before, will train men for the 'Varsity of the succeeding year; and if any man is good enough to row on the 'Varsity in his first year, his rowing in the class races will show it as well as six weeks' more work would; even if it did not, no man ought to be put into the 'Varsity much later than the class races, as it would take some time for him to get in with the 'Varsity men's work. Last year, after the class races, the Captain of the 'Varsity wished...
...first performance will be some time in May. It would perhaps be well to give a "benefit" performance during Class Day week, and devote the proceeds to a fund for buying casts, &c., which are much needed in the Greek Department...
