With the prospect of a quadrangular freshman race, the freshman crew has a definite aim towards which to direct its efforts. The material for a good crew is this year unusually good, and gives promise of a close and exciting contest on the twenty-sixth of June. The freshmen have had good coaching so far, and are making rapid improvement by hard and earnest work.

At Columbia we draw our candidates entirely from the freshman classes in the Schools of Arts and Mines. At Pennsylvania we understand they are taken from the first classes of all the different departments, graduate or undergraduate. It would be manifestly unfair to race crews, drawn in such a different way that it would give one college almost three times as many men to draw from...
