The crew have so felt the necessity of ending the year without a debt that, as the statement explains, they have practiced the most rigid economy. The money spent has been for boats, a steam launch, and a rowing tank, which will be of permanent use to the Boat club in future years. No efforts have been spared to save unnecessary expense. The economy of the management and the good work of the crew should appeal very strongly to the students. Seven hundred dollars have been subscribed...
...continue to receive in future years. The new tank, which will continue to be serviceable for years to come, either to the university or class crews, cost the boat club five hundred dollars.

The expenditure for the tank and launch, however, have made the amount to be raised this year unusually large, and this extra amount must be collected mostly by subscription. We would join the committee, therefore, in urging all who are interested in the success of the crew to subscribe as liberally as possible for its support...
...price of the launch was $3250, but not all of that amount has been obtained. A petition was sent among some of the alumni by the boat club, asking for aid, and by these means over two thousand dollars were raised, which with the cash already on hand will pay the debt within three or four hundred dollars...
