It is now conceded by boating authorities that a tank is indispensable for the success of our crew. The announcement, therefore, that efforts are being made to build a tank here, similar to the one used by the candidates for the Yale crew during the past two years, will doubtless be hailed with satisfaction throughout the college. Permission to build a tank in Hemenway gymnasium has been refused, but there is no reason why one cannot be constructed in the old gymnasium on the delta opposite Memorial Hall. The building is now useless, except as a storehouse for all sorts of rubbish, and seems in every way fitted for the construction of a tank. How much such a tank will cost, it is impossible to say, but in a matter of such vital importance to the crew, subscriptions, both from graduates and undergraduates, should be generous. No effort ought to be spared which will lead us next spring to an honorable and decisive victory at New London.
