EDITORS HARVARD HERALD : Will you permit me through your columns to urge those who have not yet subscribed to the University Crew to give as much as they can when called upon. The crew, by their victory of last year, certainly deserve the support of the college. This year, as those who saw the report of last year's treasurer may recall, the crew started in with a debt of nearly twelve hundred dollars, and I earnestly hope that this debt may be entirely cancelled, and the Boat Club left free from debt at the end of the year.

...appeal made by the treasurer of the Boat Club in another column ought to meet with such prompt response as to make further appeals for the same object unnecessary. The college should at all events show that it is unwilling to slight the needs of a victorious crew. We hope that the freshmen in particular will see fit to contribute largely.

Now, is it well for the freshmen to row the whole nine months of the school year? We can best answer this by examining the experience of the case in point. In so long a course of training as nine months, some of the best...
