club in maintaining the crews OF 1908, has

This result has been made possible by the
loyal support Of the undergraduates and
graduates alike In responding to the re-
quests for subscriptions. to the rowing
club. The undergraduates contributions
amounted to about $4,000. which. with
graduate subscriptions of $1,000 and the
sum Of 81 600 collected by President Butler.

preparations for a crew for the coming year.

the lime lost this fall owing 70 lack Of funds.
