...returning to Cambridge we had a series of unexpected bits of good luck in the selling of old boats, recovering the money spent on defective oars, and in other ways. We had up to that time incurred bills for a new cedar shell, for oars, training table, boat house charges, use of launch and various smaller items, amounting in all to $1131.76. We sold our broken barge for $50.00, the old paper shell of our freshman year for $20.00, our old cedar shell for $235.00, and the new one with the oars for $350.00. Including the money raised by subscription...
Under these circumstances it seemed reasonable to help the '98 Weld crew, which had gotten heavily in debt owing to a series of misfortunes culminating in their boat race. We felt justified in doing so, as the Weld cres are virtually second class crews and the money had been subscribed for class and for crew purposes. After paying them $134.73 there now remains $264.25 in the '98 crew treasury. Of this money a certain amount will have to be spent to meet unexpected expenses. The remainder, some $250.00, is still to be disposed of. It had been my intention...
...Weld Boat Club has been doing a very valuable work for Harvard rowing. Their expenses have been proportionately heavy and they are now some $600 in debt. As the 'Varsity management feels unable to do so, I have been asked by Captain Perkins to help them with the surplus money left in the '98 crew treasury. This would seem to be for the best interests of Harvard rowing; but, as it is not for a class purpose, I do not feel justified in adopting it without first asking for an expression of opinion on the part of the subscribers...
...reply postal card calling for crew subscriptions has been sent to every member of the Freshman class, and out of this number only forty replies have been received. It seems a great pity, that out of a class as large as 1901, not enough money can be collected to support the crew, and that only forty out of six hundred and fifty have paid any attention to the postals. Every man ought to take pride enough in his class to see that the money necessary to send the crew to New London is raised. This money can never be collected...
...meeting of the committee organized to raise money for the Lowell Park on Brattle street, was held Monday night. The treasurer announced that more than the requisite $35,000 had already been received. June first was the final date for sending contributions, but there is still need for more, as it is important to buy another piece of land in order to preserve one of the finest oak trees on the estate, and to put up some kind of stone memorial. A committee, of which President Eliot is one, was appointed to turn over to the Cambridge Park Commissioners...
