Captain Storrow has taken issue with us on the advisability of buying shore uniforms for the university crew, and we publish his letter in this morning's paper. We do not, however, think that our position, as taken in the editorial of yesterday morning was a bad one, and still maintain that these uniforms are an unnecessary expense. The present management do not intend to be wasteful, but in view of the tremendous burden which sports have come to be upon the purses of the students, we should not object to see a return in some respects to the more Spartanlike simplicity of former years. The crews of ten or a dozen years ago which battled for Harvard did not find it necessary to have shore uniforms bought for them, even though they were quartered near more than three other crews and close to larger cities than New London. There was no talk of their esprit de corps being less because they could not have coats all made of the same piece of goods, or of their not being comfortable in their own summer suits.

With regard to a small mistake in our editorial yesterday morning, by which the cost of these uniforms was placed at $150, it is only necessary to say that figure would be the cost of providing a complete set of uniforms, whereas, in reality, they only provide for the new men each year. To put the money now spent for blazers into good beds, which the captain says are needed, would be a much greater help towards victory, in our opinion, and would be a change which most men would appreciate.
