WITH the hope of adding a new interest to our College races, and of providing a means by which the winning crews may have the record of their victories more certainly insured than by memory or tradition, the Crimson Board at its last meeting voted to offer a silk flag every year to the crew winning the first race; the flag to bear the name of the club to which it is awarded, and to be placed (with the concurrence of the Boat Club) among the flags won by the University crews. By this means it is hoped that the victory of each year will be recorded, and the emulation of the clubs will be excited to attain the greatest number of flags as indications of a superior record. It is the design of the Crimson to offer a flag every year, whether rowing be conducted according to the class or club sytesm, and as the club crews are to contest the races at present, it will be offered to them in the coming spring.
