...view of the length of time consumed in traveling back and forth between Boston and Cambridge, the captain of the university crew has arranged a temporary float at the Charles River boat-house, to be used until the severity of winter forces the crew to the harbor for open water. We cannot commend too highly the energy of the boat club in its endeavors to further the interests of the crew, and we can only urge the college at large firmly to support these efforts. Every possible means should be put at the disposal of the crew to make their...
...Boat Club have succeeded in securing the small float at the boat house for use all through the winter. On Tuesday afternoon the float was put in place in spite of the difficulty occasioned by the low tide. The water is at present extremely unfavorable for rowing, as a long stretch of mud intervenes between the float and the river; but the crews, equipped with rubber boots, struggle bravely through it, and will continue to take daily rows as long as the weather permits...

Owing to an unfortunate misunderstanding, the float at the boat-house has been taken up. As a result the members of the junior class crew will be unable to practice on the river during the early part of the coming month as they had hoped. It seems to us that in the future it would be policy to leave the float alone until an order comes from the captain of the 'Varsity crew to take it away, and if any class crew desired to use the float when there was danger of its being carried...
