Our correspondent of this morning has certainly been very closely connected with the boat club; but his arguments, even after several readings of his letter, appears to us far from convincing. He speaks of our editorial as being inaccurate. The only inaccuracy which has been detected was due to a misunderstanding, and was easily explained next morning. In turn, we should like to assert that Mr. Sexton is inaccurate and misleading in one of his most important statements. He says that the Yale crew costs more than ours. Figures will hardly prove this. According to the treasurer's report our boat club spent last year $6,490, and left $1,746 of unpaid bills, a total of $8,236. The Yale News is authority for the statement that last year the Yale boat club spent $6,000, and had $1,000 of unpaid bills, a total of $7,000, or $1,236 less than Harvard. Even if our crew did cost less than the Yale crew, that is no argument that there may not be extravagancies existing which it would be well to get rid of. Let them have spend money for beds which they need, and not for blazers.

He brings in again the argument used by Capt. Storrow, that the blazers are effective on bringing out a desirable esprit de corps. If enthusiasm in the crew, and pride in their work were at such a low ebb that it has to be bolstered up by showy loafing uniforms, we fear that the crew would not put much life in their work even with this great inducement of blazers. Mr. Sexton asks why the crew should not have uniforms as well as the other athletic teams. They do have uniforms, both for exercising, and for contests. Do the other teams have loafing uniforms to keep up their esprit de corps? We think not.

Our editorial he mentions cast no reflection upon Captain Storrow, nor was it intended as Mr. Sexton seems to think, to lessen in any degree the subscriptions to the crew. Far from it. It's mission was to advise a cutting down of the expenses a little, so that by greater economy, and with the same or larger subscriptions than last year, all the expenses of the crew may be met and a reduction in the debt begun, instead of an addition made to it, as has too often been the case.
