WE publish to-day another letter from a graduate upon the subject of our rowing interests. This letter is, in a measure, a supplement to the one we published in our last number. The position of the writers of these letters, the strong ground they take, and the interest they show in our boating welfare demand, we think, some public recognition from those who are to select and train our crew, and who will shape our boating policy for the next summer. The captain of the crew does not, we believe, agree with the views expressed by our two correspondents. If this is the case, we have a right to know his opinions, and to hear his reasons for taking a different ground. The present captain, we happen to know, has given the subject of strokes a great deal of consideration. At Springfield he studied the stroke of the Yale men, and after the regatta at Saratoga he went to Philadelphia, saw both the English crews, and talked with the captain of the London Rowing Club Four. He therefore has definite opinions. A public statement of those opinions would certainly be read with the greatest interest by both graduates and undergraduates.
