We publish in another column a communication from a member of the university crew which deserves the immediate attention of the management of the freshman crew. The communication voices the unanimous opinion of the rowing men in college who have watched the efforts of the freshmen. There is something radically wrong which must be remedied soon, or the result will be disastrous. We believe that the captain is doing his best to put a good crew on the water and that there is no reason why he should not succeed. Whatever the trouble is, the interests of the class demand that it shall be remedied. If the fault lies with the coaching, as our correspondent hints, let that be changed.

We feel that we have a right to urge this, as the freshman crew in a way is a university team. The interest aroused by the Columbia race is not confined to the freshmen but is felt by all the university. For two years Harvard has lost the race, and we look therefore to Ninety-two to redeem the low reputation which the freshman crews of the past have seemed to deserve. To achieve this, every effort should be put forth. Whatever step is taken, if it is done wisely and with consideration, the captain may be assured of the support both of his class and of the rest of the University.
