Class races in eight-oared boats have been rowed since the spring of 1879. Previous to this the only races besides those of the University Crew had been those of the various clubs. Interest in boating was gradually dying out when it was proposed to return to the old system of class races. Instead of rowing in six-oared boats it was decided to have eight men in the boats. The first race after this plan took place on Saturday, May 17, 1879. The entries were from the four classes in the college...

Yale has assured us that we shall be favored with several hundred men to back their nine, and we need not doubt that they will do so most liberally.

The recent victories of the nine, although not especially significant so far as relates to the prospects of a game with Yale, are yet deserving of cordial commendation and praise. As the Crimson has stated, it may be very likely that the previous poor playing of the freshmen was due in a large measure to weak support from the class, and consequent discouragement and lack of enthusiasm in the nine. The class has certainly been much to blame, and should here come forward and show its appreciation of the efforts of its nine...
