...which the College suffered by the recent fire, it would probably be received with its present indebtedness; but, as matters now are, this can hardly be hoped for. The original cost of the boat-house was $5,000, its present indebtedness is $2,800; the tax is $78 per year.

A want of funds is alleged as the reason for discontinuing them. Inasmuch as money required for boating and ball matters is forthcoming, it can be inferred that if the same energetic means were taken for this department, immediate assistance would undoubtedly be rendered.
