Endeavors to introduce out-of-door athletics at Wellesley have met with marked success. Up to the opening of 1892 no systematic out-of-door work had been given the students. Rowing was then introduced under careful supervision, and aroused such interest that 175 of the young women competed for positions on the crews. The class of '96 raised $2,500 to build a boat-house last year, and Dr. W. A. Brooks, a former oarsman of Harvard coached the crews.
