...ALLEN, '80, will be coxswain of the Junior Crew, and will also coach twice a week...
...system of secret entries is also open to criticism. When the entries were public, if any event did not "fill," those who were interested in making the meeting a success could persuade persons competent to enter to do so before the entries closed, and thus insure an interesting meeting. The failure of the meeting of March 8 was, in part at least, due to the fact that the entries were secret.

The reason for this is obvious, and, apart from the raising of our standard in rowing itself, we ought to congratulate ourselves that any scheme for reviving class feeling has been...
