IT is a matter of surprise, as well as regret, that the Freshmen, after making such a brilliant start in athletics, are failing to support their class crew in a substantial way. Up to the present time only one half of the money which the crew must have in order to row the race with the Columbia Freshmen has been subscribed. More than half of the class, although most of them have been called upon to subscribe, have failed to give anything at all. It is not necessary to wait for the subscription-list to be brought around, but it is the duty of each man to subscribe promptly as much as his circumstances permit. Moreover, the members of eighty-two ought to know that when they voted to row the race they virtually pledged themselves to supply the crew with the means; and they should feel that the rest of the University has also an interest in the result of the race. It is greatly to be hoped, therefore, that eighty-two will soon make up the deficiency, so that the crew may be able to meet Columbia on an even footing.
