As Harvard men have so few appeals made to their class feeling, it is incumbent upon the freshmen to support their class organizations zealously. With regard to the eleven and nine, it is seldom necessary to remind freshmen of this, for the expenses of both of these organizations are comparatively small and may in part be defrayed by the proceeds of match games. But it is different with the crew, for, though conducted on the most economical plan, a crew costs upwards of two thousand dollars, and all of this must be raised by subscriptions from freshmen alone. Two thousand dollars may seem at first though too large an amount of money to spend for such a purpose, but, if any man will remember that a shell and oars cost six hundred dollars, board at training table twelve dollars a week per man, expenses of three weeks training at New London several hundred dollars, miscellaneous as much more, it will be seen that two thousand dollars is a very small estimate. As a class the freshmen this year have not subscribed freely to the crew. Too many men who have given large sums to the 'varsity and who could well afford to give still larger sums to the freshman crew, have subscribed but moderate amounts. Too many men who could afford to give moderately have given but little; and a great many men who have given nothing at all could subscribe a dollar or two. Two dollars may seem to be a small amount, but fifty men subscribing two dollars each would send the crew to the training table a week or two earlier than they otherwise would be enabled to go. If every freshman subscribes the most he can afford, there will be no cause for Harvard men to grumble that Ninety three's crew was defeated by Yale for lack of class enthusiasm and want of fond for proper training.
