To the Editors of the Crimson:
Previous to 1885 under the management of Bancroft the Harvard crew won seven out of ten races.
It is the opinion of the best oarsmen whom I have met, that in 1885 certain faults crept into the Harvard stroke and that they have never been wholly eradicated. Consequently while crews composed of splendid winning material have gone year after year to New London, victories have been few and far between.
What I wish to suggest is that two of the younger members of this year's crew be sent to England in July to practice under the best coachers that can be found among university crews there or in the London Rowing Club.
Whether Harvard wins or loses this year they cannot fail to get many valuable suggestions.
This should be done under the auspices of the University Boat Club but I believe that graduates will gladly contribute to the expense.
