There will be a meeting of the boat club this (Tuesday) evening at 7.30 p. m., in Upper Massachusetts Hall, to elect officers and discuss rowing matters.

It is hoped that this meeting will represent what interest the students take in boating, and that no one will be afraid to express his opinion. The captain of the crew wishes either to feel that the university is behind him, so that he may begin with confidence the work of the year, or to know that the college is not with him, that he may immediately resign.

If the crew is not zealously watched and supported by the University, it does not deserve the name of the "Harvard crew," for the struggle and vigor of the institution are not in it.
