The excellence of our Freshman crew is very gratifying, after the failures in that direction of all the classes now in College; it is a wise plan to give it all possible practice in hard rowing by the side of other crews, both to accustom the crew to the kind of work required in a race and to test the value of their stroke. As we said last week, we should be very sorry to see a man taken...
