truth may be- It is a rebuke to those
individuals who in their ignorance and
conceit fancy themselves somewhat
superior folks and who make social
distinctions that nei.hcr the Lord nor

FIND COURSE TOO NARROW
Columbia Out of Pennsylvania
Harvard Princeton Race.

Columbia will not take part In the Har-
ward Pennsylvani Princeton regatta on
the Charles River on May 10. This an
nouncement was made yesterday by
Walter NJ Mohr. manager Of the Column
ba varsity crew. after he had received
a letter from Captain Charles +. Abeles
of Harvard The including OF Columbia
in the three cornered regatta was practl-
cally assured and when both Princeton
and Pennsylvania gave consent seemed
certain that the Blue and White would
have place in the race
When the Harvard authorities came to
measure the course, however. they found
that there was not room enough for four
crews at the start of the one and seVen-
eighths mile course over which the race
was to be rowed; in fact in order to get
four eight-oared crews in the race II
would he necessary to pegin near the
Harvard bridge. which would make the
race only triie more than a mile III
length. This both the Columbia and Har-
ward authorities thought would he hardly
worth while. and consequently Columbia
will not send its crew 10 Cambridge.
No other race has been arranged for the
Blue and White crews besides those In
which they will take part at the Ameri-
can Henley and the Harlem regatta. &C
cording to dispatches from Princeton, the
MANAGEMENT of the Tigers crew Is con
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of having Column

SWIMMING PROBLEMS UP
Smaller Colleges May Join
League with Graded Glasses.

The graduate ADVISOR committee OF
the intercollegiate Swimming Association
took up its duties last Saturday. held a
meeting and laid out It's plans FOR the
future.
Among the questions which came up
for discussion was one OF introducing a
rule forbidding all teams the us" of fresh
men I'm the league meets. Princeton wa
termen have felt for some time that II
was unfair for other colleges 10 start
first year students when the home faculty
denied them like privilege and they
have repeatedly tried 10 have conditions
equalizcd. Some OF the graduates seemed
in favor Of the proposed rule. tut Others
pronounced In opposition 20 IT, on the
plea that the freshmen had not the
necessary funds To defray the cost Of
meets among themselves and that their
Punishment from the varsity squads
would deprive them altogether OF compe-
ttion. The decision VAS left To a later
date.
The scheme of L.. &. VI. Richards. OF
Yale. to establish graded class champion
ships under the direction OF the associa-
ton was unanimously commended and
It's adoption Will be strongly advocated
by the committee. 1t is believed that
Eastern colleges not now holding MEM
bership in the league will readily join
when the chance is given OF battling for
title against opponents OF their o~ n
calibre. The teams will be divided into
classes according To their strength.
The ACCESSIBILITY OF substituting a no.
yard swim for the plunge or of adding
the latter race was thoroughly thrashed
out and the majority voted for the
change.
4 revision OF the water polo code also
was thought desirable and amendments
Will be presented In proper form at the
next session.
While the advisory board Yields no
power OF decision and its every recon-
mendation must be passed upon by the
undergraduates before acceptance. 1t -
expected that the latter will be led in
most cases by the older and more expert
enced counsellors, whose aid and cooper
alton they have voluntarily sought.
