...crew is one that carries with it too many responsibilities and requires too much technical knowledge and experience to be filled with the best results, at least, by a man who has rowed but one year. Feeling, therefore, that Harvard's chances for a successful crew would be made surer if a more experienced man than he held the position of captain, he has generously resigned from an office than which there is no higher athletic honor in college. We do not doubt that Mr. Finlay's action will receive the commendation it deserves...

A word now to the freshmen. No surer way to help your team to success can be found than the support afforded by the presence of a large number of your class. It is an easy and comparatively inexpensive undertaking to run up to Andover for the afternoon, and the game ought not to be lost through lack...
