...almost impossible for one who is not fortunate enough to be trying for some crew or nine to get a chance to exercise upon the weights. The university crew and nine should undoubtedly have the right to use the weights at their own convenience; but it does not seem exactly just for the freshman crew and nine and the class crews to monopolize them at a time when they are so much in demand...
