Bacon '07 leaves College. Either of the men mentioned above would fit into the boat fairly well there, or C. Morgan '08, or J. E. Wald '10, number six on the present Freshman crew. The boat will also become va crew. The bow seat will also become vacant when R. M. Tappan '07, graduates. P. Wyman '10, C. Wiggins '08, and S. Marvin...
