Yale has been anxious to take early steps towards a renewal of the old contract or towards getting a new one, but the Harvard boating authorities have held back because the University Treasurer will not allow the manager of the crew to speculate with the crew's funds.

It is absolutely necessary that this work be finished up before the first of April. After that time Mr. Tupper is not governed by the provisions of the contract.
