And we must speak of another subject in regard to Ninety-two, one that is of the utmost importance and involves the whole freshman class. If eight hundred dollars is not subscribed by the class within one week, the freshman crew cannot go to New London. The class has not subscribed at all readily and there has been a manifest indifference to the need of the crew for money. Up to the present time but half of the necessary amount has been obtained. The fault is not with the management which is making every possible effort to raise the money, but with the class which will not do its duty in supporting one of its principal teams.

We cannot understand such a state of affairs. Surely Ninety-two has not made an enviable record, has not given the college reason to be proud of it in any respect save in its football victory last fall! After the detestable action of its nine at New Haven, comes the announcement that the class will not support the crew. We are accustomed to regard the freshman class as one to recruit the ranks of our 'varsity teams, to fill places of importance in after college years, to keep up Harvard's reputation. But of what use is a class that has in its freshman year learned no lessons of earnestness, or class and college loyalty!

The requisite money must be subscribed, and at once. The failure to obtain it would be a monument to the contemptible record of Ninety-two, by which the college is in danger of being once more disgraced.
