It is but a few years ago that the boating interest at Brown University occupied a prominent position among the other recognized sports. Lately, however, the record of the Brown crew has become somewhat obscure. In fact, the only branch of athletics to which the Rhode Island college has given strong support is base-ball. It seems, however, that an effort is to be made to restore rowing to its old position of prominence, and the following clipping from the Brunonian would seem to show that this effort bids fair to attain success.
"Boating is booming. In other words boating has taken a fresh start under the new management, and while the progress has been slow and the innovation has been made carefully, yet the progress is substantial and the changes are practical. The new constitution lays stress upon the formation of a university crew and it is the intention of the association to carry this article into effect. Financial arrangements are being perfected and already give assurance of success. It is certainly commendable to place this branch of our athletics on a firm footing, and when our alumni see that men in college are enthusiastic and mean business, then they will surely contribute their substantial aid."
