We understand that of the $240 necessary to provide good machines like those used by the University crew, the management of the latter will contribute $100 if the class crew managers will raise the rest.

"We assert," it says, "that it is a duty entailed upon us as citizens of the United States to do everything in our power to oppose the war spirit so rampant now."
