The opening of the 'varsity crew practice to visitors will give unbounded satisfaction throughout the University. We believe that for the past few years the system of secret practice has been the curse of much of Harvard's athletics.

On the other hand, if the practice is open and the students may follow the work of their representatives, their interest grows as the final race gets nearer, and they are ready to give their crew or football eleven the heartiest support at the time when this support at the time when this support is most needed. This enthusiasm on the part of the students is the best sort of encouragement to athletic teams.
