About 100 men attended the Freshman class mass meeting held in the Living Room of the Union last night. Captain Dillingham and Manager Manning of the University crew laid stress on the fact that unless $90 was raised by noon today the Athletic Association would not allow the Freshman crew to go to New London. A collection of $50 was made from the members of the class present and a motion passed that each man should hold himself responsible for raising a part of the $40 still needed...

Much stress has been laid upon form and the correction of individual faults, each man, however, being allowed as much freedom as possible in batting in his own way.

Coach Higginson, during the first part of the practice, gave special attention to individual members of the crew laying particular stress on the blade work. On the way back to the boathouse from Harvard Bridge both crews practiced the Cornell stroke, which consists in pulling the oar rapidly through the water and taking a great deal of time on the recover. In this stroke the oars are trained very close to the water...
