OPEN THE BOAT HOUSES SUNDAY

In the matter of Sunday exercise, the University must conform to the sentiment of the community. For a number of years most of the boat clubs on the Charles have been open for rowing on Sunday, without objection from anyone. There seems to be no reason why the Newell and Weld boat clubs should not be open as well. Of course there would be no organized coaching of any sort; but singles, pair-oars, and even larger crews might be allowed upon the river, as sail-boats and motor boats are allowed on the harbor. An opportunity for the most valuable exercise which is now denied men who stay in Cambridge on Sunday, and granted to those fortunate enough to visit the surrounding country, would then be given to all.

Tennis is a different proposition. The general sentiment seems to be against it as a form of Sunday exercise; and as long as the sentiment exists, it must be regarded.
