...yesterday's CRIMSON, suggesting that the boat club should award prize cups to the winners in the fall scratch races, should receive the attention of the boat club. It seems to us that the request is justifiable, and that the cups should be awarded, as in former years. We cannot imagine why there should have been this delay. Can it be that the boat club does not intend to give any prizes?

The spirit of gentlemanly emulation ought to be fostered, but a spirit of criticism and jealous carping is to be avoided like the plague...
