A year ago the new system of assessing each class a certain percentage of the amount necessary for the crew was instituted, and was acknowledged by every one to be a very just and equitable way of raising the money required. Each class now in passing through College supports one crew. The Freshmen are assessed thirty-five per cent of the whole amount, because in the first year there are fewer general expenses than in other years, and large subscriptions can be more easily made.
