Princeton, n. j.. Nov. Z9.-Much interest is being
aroused Princeton by the reports that are COM
ing from Philadelphia that Andrew Carnegie Is
willing to give $2S5,0 900 for artificial lake, and
already received bids from several contractors
President Woodrow Wilson says he knows nothing
OF the affair. and that If Mr.. Carnegie intends to
build the lake he is doing IL a private enter
prise, and not through the university.
1t is well known, however, that Mr.. Carnegie
holds options most of the marsh lands along
the Delaware and Raritan Canal, which is the pro-
posed site of the lake, about half a mile south
of the campus. Mr.. Butler the private secretary
of Mr.. Carnegie. has been in town recently,
aminng the options. The lake. when completed.
will be about four miles long and half mile wide
affording ample opportunity for the development
of a crew. The students enthusiastic the
project, and looking forward to the time when
Princeton will be represented in this aquatic sport
The Tigers first attempt at rowing was in 1872
when they made good showing in the Schuykill
Navy regatta. Further efforts were unsuccessful
due TO a poor practising course, which only
