TO THE EDITORS OF THE CRIMSON: -
I HAVE heard that the Captain of the Sophomore Crew does not intend to stay here with his men during vacation, in order to keep them in training and improve their form, as the Captains of the other crews are going to do. The report may be untrue; but, if it is not, I, as a member of the Class of '82, wish to call the attention of the Class to it and also to show the Captain that there is a strong feeling in the Class that he ought to stay, even if he cannot get a complete crew to stay with him, as there are several new men in the boat this year, and what they need more than rowing, in a crew, is to be carefully coached in a pairoar.
'82TO THE EDITORS OF THE CRIMSON: -
As a member of '82, interested in all class proceedings, I wish to call attention to the dilatoriness of officers in calling meetings. It has frequently been the case that notices for meetings of considerable importance have been posted late in the afternoon, when the meeting was called for the same evening. In such cases, of course, there can only be a very small attendance, and the opinions of the meeting may be far from the opinions of the class.
Not only does this deprive men of a representation in class votes, but it offers a prize to particular rings and all cut-and-dried projects. I do not wish to find fault; but I am confident that if the officers knew how wide-spread is the feeling against this habit, they would endeavor to remedy the matter, by posting notices, as should be done, at least one day before the time of meeting.
