...prevailing topics of the hour. Harvard men have the interests of their crew just as much at heart as a year ago, and the rowing season which ends at New London today, has been one of unprecedented activity. There is naturally not the superabundant confidence of victory which was felt last year, but each man knows that Mr. Lehmann and Captain Perkins have made the most of the material offered, and that the eight will do their best...
...said: The figure of speech is plain and pungent. Salt is savary, purifying, preservative. Christ was not paying compliments to his disciples. He was giving a clear and powerful call to duty. Were they to make their influence felt on earth for good? Men of privilege without power are waste material. Men of enlightenment without influence are the poorest kind of rubbish.

Several weeks ago in speaking of the deficit in the treasury of the 1901 crew, we felt it to be probably no more serious than is usual with Freshmen crews a month before they go to New London, and we merely suggested that it was incumbent on 1901 men to subscribe more readily. The situation has, however, turned out to be much more serious than we supposed. In past years appeals of this nature have always met with general support, last season in fact the result was a surplus, but the 1901 management has met with most discouraging indifference...
