There is no nobler, no more satisfying work than that of helping and guiding mankind - men weary of all professions, however successful they may be; but there is no wearying of the feeling that you have helped some slipping soul to regain lost ground, or have even checked the slipping. This help must be the work of the young men. The older generation, with some bright exceptions, is deaf to any call for it.

For two years both our 'varsity and freshman crews have been unsuccessful, and the mettle, perseverance and arduous labor of every loyal Harvard man ought to be at the service of the men who are striving to regain her prestige on the water. For two reasons the response of the freshmen is important. They are to produce a crew which will do battle with the Yale and Columbia freshmen next June, and, more important still, they are to produce oarsmen who will sometime occupy seats in the 'varsity boat...
