The crew leave for New London under the most favorable auspices. Three championships have already come to Harvard, and the college looks forward to the fourth. We consider our chances on the water about even, albeit Yale has her victorious crew of last year almost intact while Harvard has but three men who have ever rowed in a 'varsity race. It is the hard and conscientious work of the crew and the untiring efforts of its captain which cause us to put so much trust in the result of the race. Too much praise cannot be given Captain Storrow, who, without the valuable services of a coach and with the rawest material from which to select, has succeeded in getting together a crew of which Harvard need feel no shame, whatever may be its success at New London. Let the crew remember that it is on the water that Harvard has ever looked for success with the greatest confidence, and that defeat there is felt most grievously. The college bids you good by, and hopes and believes that you will not break the long series of victories which have this year come to Harvard.
