EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON.-The usual spirit of the legal profession-that of taking advantage of circumstances without regard to justice-is developing very early in the present members of the Law School. For it seems very unjust toward the undergraduate classes for that department of the university to abstain from the races on the Charles until there is an accumulation of old and excellent oarsmen from which to form a crew.

This winter there has been a renewal of the boating fever in the school, and active preparations have begun. Abundant and good material is at hand from which to select, and it will not be difficult for them to find eight men suitable for a race of two miles. At present only...
