In the last report President Eliot mentions among other needs of the university a new boat-house; and now as this need has been recognized by the college authorities, there is good reason to hope that a new boat-house will soon be built. The old house, though it satisfies in a way the wants of the members of the boat club and the various crews, is still far from complete. The shower-baths, dressing-rooms, etc., are not in a good condition, as would be expected in the boat-house of Harvard University. Seeing as we do wherein the old house is lacking, we can construct the new house on a greatly improved plan. Of course the boat club is dependent entirely on the munificence of interested persons, and it is to be hoped that the disposition of any gift that may be made to the university in the future will be left in the hands of the college authorities, who so clearly understand the needs of the students.
