I have made inquiries and I find that the trouble over raising and collecting subscriptions, and all talk against "subscription friends," is almost unknown. Every Yale man is willing to subscribe his last penny for the sake of beating Harvard at New London, and if we wish to see them disappointed we must be more generous in supporting our crew. Out of 1500 men, composing Harvard University, only 438 subscribed to the crew's support Blank...
