...glad to be able to announce that the rowing tank for the university crew is now only a matter of time. Permission has practically been granted for the use of the old gymnasium building, and it is hoped that the tank will be ready by the first of next year. We congratulate the crew on the accomplishment of their plan and trust that the new tank may aid them and future crews to win many a race from Yale. The value of the tank has been sufficiently demonstrated by the success of the Yale crews of the past two years...
...news comes from New Haven that, not content with the present rowing advantages which Yale has over her competitors, it has been decided that a new tank is not only desirable but necessary, While Yale is thus showing energy and enterprise in boating matters, Harvard, in marked contrast, is apparently doing nothing to advance her interests in this branch of athletics. The defeat of last year has proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that under present conditions Harvard's chances of winning are practically worthless. If we would compete with Yale on equal footing we must have a rowing...
...sentiment of the college is in favor of the erection of such a tank and a site has been chosen and approved by the boating men. Funds only are lacking and it seems to us that in the present state of college feeling, the raising of such funds would not be a difficult matter. We all desire to see Harvard in athletics restored to her old position in the foremost rank of American colleges. Each successive defeat pushes us further from the front and if we do not desire to see in the spring one more victory added to Yale...
...content with the present rowing facilities in the gymnasium, the Yale 'Varsity crew has decided to place an other rowing tank in the gymnasium. Permission for the erection of the tank has not yet been granted by the faculty but no trouble is apprehended on that score. The new tank will be built beside the old one, over the place now occupied by the bowling alleys. The new tank will be very similar to the old, with the exception of the substitution of stone work for wood in some places. The cost is estimated at six hundred dollars. The class...
...conceded by boating authorities that a tank is indispensable for the success of our crew. The announcement, therefore, that efforts are being made to build a tank here, similar to the one used by the candidates for the Yale crew during the past two years, will doubtless be hailed with satisfaction throughout the college. Permission to build a tank in Hemenway gymnasium has been refused, but there is no reason why one cannot be constructed in the old gymnasium on the delta opposite Memorial Hall. The building is now useless, except as a storehouse for all sorts of rubbish...
