EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. While-every member of '89 may reflect with pride upon the brilliant achievements of the crew, he should not be oblivious to the merits of the nine. Their victory certainly deserves as much praise, and did as much to reflect honor upon their class as did that of the crew.

It is all the more a subject for congratulation, because it was not generally anticipated, and because it constituted the missing link in the melancholy series of defeats which our freshman nines have sustained at the hands of Yale. It appears that the nine was able, out of its surplus funds, to give $100 to the Boat Club. With the $45 now remaining in the treasury of the crew it is voted by the class that cups be purchased for its members.

While heartily concurring with this vote, it seems to the writer that there is a glaring inconsistency in ignoring the nine, which is thus made to suffer for its own generosity.

Money should either be taken from the class treasury to present them with cups, or an appeal be made to the class which would certainly respond heartily to such a call.

Let us hasten to render a tardy acknowledgement of the debt of gratitude we owe those who worked so hard and trained so faithfully during the long months of winter, and in whom we felt so much pride in the spring. And let us express our appreciation of their efforts in some more palpable form than mere words.

JUSTITIA.
