UPON the Crew in particular we would urge the necessity of immediate and energetic action. Our success in the past three races must not be taken as a criterion of success in the future. We have probably lost all but one of our last year's crew, and men who have been long associated with our boating interests are now no longer connected with the University. We have plenty of good raw material; but Yale's experience has testified that the moulding of raw material into an efficient crew is no easy task. Such a task is ours this year. Captain Trimble occupies a more difficult position than has been held by any captain of the Crew for several years; but he has already proved himself well fitted for the place. Upon the new men rests a large part of the responsibility of sustaining Harvard's boating record. They can do much towards making the captain's position an easy one, and we look to them for hard, earnest work. Yale is enthusiastic under her new captain, and has voted to challenge us at once. Her crew, the same as last year, with one exception, are already in training, and there is no doubt that, do what we may, the race this year will be a close one. But if enough men will come forward we shall be able to select an unusually good crew. We, therefore, call upon the University to give our captain a hearty support, and hope to see a large number of contestants for seats in the University boat.
