The Boating University Will Look to the
West for Competitors.
A mass meeting Of Cornell students was held
on the university campus yesterday afternoon
ard was largely attended. The object of the
meeting was to decide the fate of this year 8
freshmen crew as to whether it should be con-
tinued in training or not. The most intense in
terest was shown as to the result Of the meet
ing. as it was felt that the future Of Cornell on
the water would practically be decided.
Without a Freshmen crew to feed the varsity
the superiority of Cornell on the water would
soon end. This is painfully illustrated by the
fact that OF tine eight men in the varsity boat
i've are of last year freshmen crew.
The meeting called to order by Commo-
dore Hagerman, who made a short speech in
favor OF continuing tine crew. He then intro
duced President Schurman, who made a stirring
address, calling upon the class Of SO to follow
IN the footsteps of the preceding freshmen

Class. but In following years for their alma
mater.
He spoke of the fact that Cornell would now
probably never row Yale and Harvard and adj
vised that they think no more about them.
but to look to the western colleges for crews to
row, in:imating that in few years crews would
not be lacking to row against.
The freshmen crew will continue at work.
The result Of the meeting has been to give new
courage and ambition to the men now hard in
training.
The varsity crew will be the fastest ever
turned out by Cornell, and If Yale and Harvard
will not row their time will be beaten and they
thus will be virtually defeated.
Cornell sought to secure q race with the crack
crews OF England, only to be told to win at
