...print an editorial on Saturday criticising the cutting of the University crew squad. To those concerned I would like to say that any group of men who so desire may get up a scrub eight and row from Weld.

...wish to say that the vote was counted in the Office of the CRIMSON, because an accurate count might not be assured with a hundred gentlemen clamoring around the chair. This count was made by designated counters, one from the Union, and one from the Speakers' Club not by the chairman; but, had the chairman been prejudiced, he could have broken the tie by his own vote...
