EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: Permit me, through your columns, to thank those who have so courteously sent a prompt reply to my recent appeal for subscriptions to the University crew. These thanks, I regret very much to say, will not reach as many persons as I could have wished. Out of over two hundred and fifty blanks sent out by me but one hundred have been returned to date. Considering the fact that two hundred of these blanks were accompanied with stamped envelopes already addressed, the showing is a poor one. The freshmen, in particular, are very slow in answering this appeal; there are still sixty-six freshmen, to whom blanks were sent, who have not responded. Thus far I have sent blanks only to those who room outside the college yard and in private houses. I shall endeavor to call in person upon all those who room in the college buildings, and hope that every one will give as much as he can afford, when called upon. Much time and trouble, however, would be saved me if those whom I have not seen would send me their subscriptions by mail. They would receive a prompt acknowledgment of all money enclosed. Trusting that the indifference of the students to the welfare of the University crew is more apparent than real, I remain,

Yours very respectfully,L. E. SEXTON,Treasurer H. U. B. C.
