...that if the thousand dollars are not raised the crew cannot go to New London. Then while the managers are slaving about the class trying to get enough money, the crew will be waiting in Cambridge and losing days of valuable practice at New London, practice which may mean to them the difference between victory and defeat. This delay might just as well be avoided by providing the funds now. The class wants to send its crew down to the race, the crew is bound to win and has a good chance to do so, and the class will sooner...
...tickets are still being sold? In one case injustice would be done to the graduates, in the other case to those in line.

They are to give, we understand, quite a large number of concerts, and are to devote all the proceeds, above bare necessary expenses, to supporting their crew. Such little luxuries as a dinner we believe they mean to deny themselves, in order that they may do their very best to make the raising of funds easy. This is the right spirit which should be shown on all occasions, where class organizations and 'varsity too, are in a position to help those class and 'varsity teams which, otherwise...
