MOVEMENT BEGUN TO PROVIDE MONUMENT FOR BOATHOUSE SITE

A movement to set up a monument and tablet appropriately inscribed to mark the site of the old Harvard boathouse, which was in constant use from 1869 until the opening of the present Newell boathouse, has been set in motion under the direction of C. A. Coolidge '81. Mr. Coolidge is making the design and had agreed to direct the work.

The old boathouse was associated with the memory of a great many famous university crews, and for more than 20 years was the only boathouse the University owned. It was also the home of the old-time class crew competition when class rivalry was keen and expressed itself chiefly through the annual clashes.
