...doing we echo the sentiments of the College. We feel certain that the gentlemen of the Committee who have so kindly given this permission will have no cause for regret, and will find the privilege in no way abused. The object is a worthy one, for the Crew needs money now if ever it did. As to the success of the performances there can hardly be a doubt, for the gentleman who has them in hand has already shown great energy in the undertaking; now all that remains is the encouragement of our friends in college...
