The organization of the Weld Boat Club for the year and the projected improvements in the club's equipment show the renewal of activity in an institution which last year was carried on more successfully than ever before. In addition to the large number of men who rowed alone or in scrub crews the club had a crew on the water from each class made up of those who failed to make their regular class crews; after the races from these subordinate class crews a Weld eight was formed which won the race for the senior eights in the Metropolitan Regatta in June; this same crew was entered by the club in the National Regatta of Amatuer Oarsmen held in August at Philadelphia and finished its season by finishing a close second in the race for eights and defeating the U. of P. 'varsity crew. The Weld Club was thus of great value in making the revival of interest in rowing a general affair last spring, and in affording all a chance to take up the sport.

In order to keep up this good work this year the club must be supplied with funds with which to buy new boats, pay the coach, etc., and these funds must come from the dues of members. There is no reason why, with the large freshman class to draw from, the membership should not be larger than ever. When the privileges of the best boathouse in New England and instruction from a skilled coach can be had for dues which are insignificant when compared with those of other boat clubs, we expect to see everyone interested in rowing a member of the club.
