The question whether we are to have a professional coach for the crews during the coming year has been under discussion for some weeks, and a lively correspondence has been carried on between the advisory committee on boating, the athletic committee, and the captain of the university crew. It was at the request of one of these parties that the CRIMSON has said nothing on this subject; but now that the facts are common property there can be no reason why they should longer be held back. The following letter, the latest of the series, explains itself.
CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 25, 1884.
DEAR MR. STORROW:
We have carefully considered the reasons given by you in appealing from the decision of the Advisory Committee on Boating, and we therefore request you to discontinue, immediately, the employment of Col. Bancroft as coach.
JOHN WILLIAMS WHITE, Committee on Athletics.W. E. BYERLY, Committee on Athletics.D. A. SARGENT. Committee on Athletics.
