EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: In a letter published by you a few days ago I complained of the small amount of subscription received thus far from the freshman class for the university crew. I send herewith a table showing the total amount of money subscribed by each class: '83, $457; '84, $866; '85, $691; '86, $492; sp. st., $15; S. S., $20; L. S., $20; anon., $5.
