...cannot help being struck with so admirable a method of raising money for the crew, and feel bound to recommend it to both our Glee Club and Crew managements. There is no doubt that the old way of getting money is carried to excess, the subscription method is a burden, and ought to be done away with; but money must be obtained in some way or other.

The result is only partially successful; men feel in duty bound to take the full limit of allowed absences from recitations, and are continually striving to invent means to avoid their other compulsory tasks...
