Those who are soliciting subscriptions for the freshman crew are not meeting with a proper response from the members of Ninety-five. The impression seems to have got abroad in the class that the crew is not going to be strong one, that the candidates are all small men, and that there is very little hope of victory for the class at New London. It is true that most of the men who are trying for the boat are light, but they are a remarkably intelligent lot and are working with a degree of energy and earnestness which is distinctly encouraging. More than this the crew is going to be handled better than any freshman crew has been for several years. The coach himself is thoroughly competent, and the captain of the 'varsity crew is authority for the statement that the freshmen are going to be looked after carefully by the 'varsity management. The prospect, therefore, is that Ninety-five will have a good crew, one thoroughly worthy of the class's best support. It is to be hoped that this statement of the case will insure proper support for the crew. The class might as well make a virtue of a necessity and subscribe the money needed by the crew at once. The money must be raised sooner or later, for the crew will not be allowed to go to New London until enough has been subscribed to cover all expenses. It is to be hoped that Ninety-five will not follow Ninety-four's example and cripple its crew be leaving a large part of this money to the raised under compulsion the last few day before the crew leaves Cambridge.
