...author of the communication in the CRIMSON Friday morning considers the crew management responsible for the lack of success of the Glee Club concert on Tuesday. The truth of the matter is that the Glee Club have treated the crew very shabbily in not giving the concert before, when more people were in town. The Jamaica Plain and Cambridge concerts, too, drew away from the audience on Tuesday. As to the concert not begin advertised, I happen to know that circulars were sent to all the houses on the Back Bay and notices published in all the daily papers...

They seem but hollow and meaningless when the speakers persistently refuse to give any more substantial support. The present lack of interest is disheartening to the crew as well as to the manager, and will tell in the races. No man can pull his best when he feels that his classmates are indifferent to success. It the members of '93 are not wholly indifferent to their crew, and willing to suffer...
