It is surprising how slow class feeling is to manifest itself in the shape of subscription towards the support of class teams. Again we have unpleasant evidence of this in the present state of the freshman crew finances. Some eighteen hundred dollars of the amount needed to meet the expenses of the season are still unsubscribed, and this when the receipts from the freshman musical clubs can not be expected to be large and when those from the nine will be practically insignificant. There can no longer be any excuse for withholding or delaying subscriptions. The freshman crew has too often been left till the last moment without money enough to take them to New London. They can not go on the strength of mere promises to pay; they must have cash to cover the cost of their trip.

Ninety-eight men have put a crew on the water, and must not now show themselves unequal to the duty of supporting it.
