THE FRESHMAN RACE.

I am sorry that the CRIMSON should have made the mistake of saying that the Yale crew was leading the race when it sunk; and the absence of your boating correspondent from Cambridge leads me to believe that the article was not written by an eye-witness, for I was on the nearest boat to the crews when the accident occurred, and the Yale crew was then behind both Columbia and Harvard. It is of course a pity that the race could not have been rowed to a finish; but it is unfair to '89 to deny that she was in the lead when her rival capsized, especially as she is of the opinion that she could have maintained her lead to the finish.

A photograph has been seen during the vacation of all the 'goodies' in one group taken in '64. This is a custom which it is very wrong to drop. Their memories should be perpetuated in art.
