The Weld Boat Club has adopted an excellent plan to increase the interest in rowing at Harvard, by arranging a regatta with neighboring boat clubs and by engaging the services of an experienced coach for all who may care to enter. If this policy is properly supported by the students and continued in other years, we may see a lively interest in boating, the advantage of which may extend even to the varsity crew. It is highly desirable that the beginning of this movement should be an enthusiastic one and those who have the scheme in hand are anxious to have a large number of entries. Men who have had experience on their class crews, either as regulars or substitutes are especially wanted. The regatta is a novel affair in Harvard life and promises to be an interesting one. There are many here who avail themselves of the boating facilities offered by the Weld Club and if they will take the initiative it will doubtless give popularity to the scheme and ultimately result in its deserved success.
