The attention of the students of the University is called once more to the Harvard Rowing Club and the purposes for which it was founded.

The outfit of the club consists of wherrees, compromise singles doubles, pair oars and four oars, and the shower baths are the finest in the University being plentifully supplied with hot water. It being the purpose of the giver to place the sport within the reach of all, and to make the charges as small as possible and still cover the running expense of the club, the annual dues are but $5.00 per year with $1.00 for locker charge. The membership under these dues terminates in all cases with the college year, so if a man joins now the expenses is the same as it would be should he join in the spring How low a charge this is will be appreciated it is compared with the dues of the Union Boat Club in Boston, which with an outfit not superior to that of the Harvard Rowing Club, charges $25.00 entrance fee and $25.00 per year annual dues.

As the general rate is so low it has been necessary for the management to charge strictly to each man any damage done to the house or boats. The cost of the boats is anywhere from $75.00 to $250.00 for the four oars and it is easily evident that, were not this done, the club would soon be left with a useless stock of old boats on its hands. A janitor is kept in the house winter and summer and the Rowing Club is gradually building a supply of boats of its own, five having been constructed during the last year at an expense of from $25.00 to $35.00 not including labor. The use of the house and boats is limited strictly to members of the Rowing Club, but during the present week the house will be open to any members of the University who are interested in looking over the place and seeing what the outfit is.
