We would recommend that some of the officers of the H. U. B. C. canvass the college for heavy and well-built men, and prevail upon them to work for the crew of the future.

I might have kept the secret in New Haven if I wished, as Keart could have built us, and can build, a good cedar eight. But what is the use of being selfish?

A boat-house has been built for them in a little cove just before their quarters, and they will row their boat up to it from the town the day of their arrival. The Yale quarters are a mile farther up the river, at Gale's Ferry...
