...there is any sport here at Harvard which deserves support and which is on the contrary shamefully neglected, it is lacrosse. Year after year the twelve has won its championship, sometimes the only team to come back victorious. and instead of receiving the hearty praise due, has been coldly passed by. There must be a change. We cannot in these days of scanty champioships afford to give up a single chance.

Now that an eminently satisfactory precedent has been established, it will be observed at once that a lasting good can come of it in the promotion of advantageous class rivalry. But of far greater importance is it that an unwearied interest in rowing is certain to be felt throughout the University. All praise is due the senior crew for the masterly manner in which they won the race. And although...
