...rowing, not for the sake of pleasure alone, but more than that, to keep up the boating prestige of the College which they have chosen for their Alma Mater. The present Freshman Class is by far the largest which has ever entered at Harvard, and from all appearances ought to contribute largely toward the University Crew, besides having a good crew...
