A Yale-Harvard Freshman Race.

Of the vote of the Yale freshmen to challenge the Harvard freshmen to a boat-race, the News speaks editorially as follows:

"The enthusiasm displayed in the freshman boating meeting is deserving the highest approbation of the college at large. In years gone by we have seen Columbia and Harvard freshmen contesting for honor on the Thames, and it has often been a question for speculation when our freshmen should be represented as aspirants for like aquatic honors. * * * The thanks of the college are due to the class for inaugurating a custom that undoubtedly will be of the utmost advantage to our university boating interests as adding experience to men while in their freshmen year and then giving the university boat its quota of men after the race of freshmen year is over. The whole matter can be made a perfect success only by honest hard work, and the best of financial support on the part of all the class."
