This evening a mass meeting will be held at which the students will take formal possession of Mr. Weld's generous gift. The matters which will come before the meeting for action will be of unusual importance, as the future policy of the rowing club will be determined. The constitution and by-laws have been carefully thought out by the student committee and revised by the trustees, but they are still open to discussion, and should be considered in every particular before they are finally adopted. The officers for the coming year will also be elected. Aside from this, the meeting will give the first chance for the students to show in an active manner their appreciation of Mr. Weld's kindness. What Mr. Weld has most at heart is to encourage, if not create, a general personal interest in rowing at Harvard. If his gift supplies, as we feel sure it does, a serious want in Harvard's athletic facilities, there will be no need to urge the men who will be benefited by it to show their gratitude. We merely suggest that the best way of doing this is by attending the meeting this evening and giving the Harvard Rowing Club an enthusiastic send-off.
