Donald C. Watson, Jr. '41, manager of the Varsity crew, announced yesterday that a dinner will be given Friday, night at 7:30 o'clock in the Harvard Club in honor of last year's rowing team. Robert F. Herrick, '90, who was coach of the victorious Henley crew in 1914, will sponsor the event.
The 1939 crew, to be feted at this dinner, was one of the most successful crews of recent years. They were defeated only once, and this one loss was at the hands of Cornell under very bad weather conditions. Also, they rowed to their second straight win over Yale in as many years and last summer captured the Challenge Trophy in England.
President Conant, Governor Leverett Saltonstall '14, Dick Harlow, Tom Bolles, and Bill Bingham will be honorary guests at the dinner. Governor Saltonstall was captain of the famous crew of 1914. The Varsity, J.V., Freshman combination, and the 150-pound crews are also invited as guests.
