The latest are those of the Trinity College alumni and of President Warren of Boston University. The first have sent out a special circular saying that the receipts are less than expected and that the sum of $50,000 is needed.

...students of Oxford and Cambridge to designate the crews which are picked from the various colleges and represent the entire university. The word, however, is not used exclusively at Harvard, but is common to all American colleges, being often the means employed to distinguish the college crew from the special crews of the undergraduate classes. But, aside from the correctness of this criticism, why should Harvard not be copied by other colleges? We are always ready, here at Cambridge, to copy anything that seems worthy of imitation, no matter what its source, and we fail to understand why Yale should...
