...season. They certainly are to be congratulated on the work which they have done. Never before has so large an amount of money been raised for the support of the freshman crew by freshman musical organizations, and the members of these clubs deserve all the heartier praise on this account. The most of the success this year is due to hard work.

There is little need that we extend congratulation to the nine through this column. The manifestation of the joy which every man in the university feels on account of the victory is too emphatic to call for any expression from us to make it understood.
