(Excerpt from New York Times.)

A NEW CREW ON THETHAMES.

It is not surprising to learn that theConnecli'cut Colle2'e for "Vornen isplanning to put a Cl'ew on' the Thames.

The Connecticut College women lookstraight down from their lofty campusupon the blue waters of the Thamesand they must often have asked them-selves, durin the last five years-thatis as long alS the 'Cdblege has heEln inex,iste-nce--why they, as well as theyoung men from Yale and Harva'l'd,should not use the river to rowan,

Other women's colleges include row-ing in their athletic programmes-atleast Wellesley does; and the time maycome when we shall witness an inter-collegiate women's regatta on theThames. But m~anwhile the girlshave a good deal to do to learn therud,iments of the art, and tl}ey neednot be in a hurry to measure sweepswith the Weliesley or Vassar under-graduates.

There is no reason why girls shouldnot row. It is a healthful exercise aslong as it is not carried too far. Ofcourse nobody would expect the Con-necticut College oarswomen to under-take a four-mile race from Gale'sFelTY down to the railroad bridge .Even half the distance would be un-wise. But short of that they can findmuch pleasure and profit in the sport,even if, indeed, their competitive row-ing never 2'oes beyond races betwe€-nthe classes.

CLASS NOTE.The J,unior Cl'ass decided at their

last meeting b> prOCeed w<ith Pirom.accOl~dling to previou'S plans. Theyare, however, omitJting eng'J'aved in-V'iltaJt'ionsin order to keep the expenseas low rus possible.
