The recent extensive robbery at the boat-house certainly demands serious attention. How unfortunate and unpleasant it is can be appreciated fully by only those who met with the loss. The experience has been so expensive that it is to be hoped that the profit derived from it will be in reasonable proportion to the expenditure. Some months ago, almost every day it was found necessary to chronicle considerable thefts at the gymnasium, but by due care the evil was finally removed, for all time let it be hoped. The authorities of the boat-house owe it to all interested to exert every effort to detect the criminals and to provide against all possibility of future accidents like the one that has just occurred. It is very unfortunate indeed if the men who devote so much time and work to the welfare and the success of the college on the water, must in the midst of their efforts be compelled to suffer such considerable pecuniary losses.
