That is, we should have eleven hundred dollars to spend on repairs and new boats, and besides should have the eight-oar cast off by the University crew. The expenses of the crew for this year will not exceed the amount named, and do not need to any year. For four hundred dollars a janitor could be hired to give all his time and care to the premises, and so keep them in much better order than at present.
The advantages of this plan are obvious. It economizes both boats and money, and encourages rowing inasmuch as it gives every one who has subscribed ten dollars to the University crew an opportunity to row, while at the same time the number who actually row would not be in creased enough to make the boats crowded. A seat for every third or fourth man could be provided easily.
