CLASS OF 1883 BOAT CREW ON FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY

The widely held belief that rowing on a crew damages the health of the oarsman and that college crew men die regularly at the age of 45 or there-abouts will be considerably jolted by the news that the class of 1883 will put a crew on the river during its fiftieth reunion next week. Word was received yesterday from C. P. Perin '83, captain of that year's crew, that eight members of the class have agreed to row when the members of the class gather in Cambridge.

The 1883 crew rowed together on its twenty-fifth and fortieth anniversaries. The names of the men who will row this year were not available yesterday but it is believed that the boat will contain several members of the class who were not on the original crew.
