The college can only say that it is with the deepest regret that it learns of Mr. Keyes's inability to give his valuable advice and experience this year to the university crew. All the arguments and entreaties of the captain and the members of the crew have been of no avail, and Mr. Keyef has given the verdict that his other work has greater need for him and a more imperative call upon him than the training of the 'varsity crew. We know not what Mr. Keyes's other work may be, and we respect his judgment in deciding which calling has the greater demand upon him. At the same time we cannot help wondering what call can be more loud than that of the university crew at this present moment and all through this spring. Half of the crew is composed of new men, and misfortunes have necessitated serious changes even at this late date. There has hardly ever been a time when the crew was more in need of an experienced eye and a skilful guiding hand to bring it into shape for the great race. If the race is lost, the defeat comes back on all the college, graduates as well as undergraduates. At times like these every one who has it in his power to help the crew ought to feel it, is it too strong to call it his duty, to give all the assistance in his power. As we said before we know not what Mr. Keyes's other call may be, but we add our voice with that of the rest in urging him to give full consideration to the call of Harvard University.
