...deeply thankful for the loyal efforts of Captain Vail and Coach Perkins and the rest of the crew. Each one of them may feel that the members of the University have confidence in those who represent it. We sincerely hope for victory, but should that fail us an honorable defeat is certain. And as a testimony of our hopes for their success and appreciation for their past efforts, we must give them a send off today such as has never before been given.

It has not, however, as yet been an important factol in developing oarsmen for the 'varsity crew. This it certainly ought to do and an arrangement such as described elsewhere cannot fail to be productive of excellent results.
