HARVARD CREW DINNER. President Eliot Wants Variety in Harvard’s Competitors—Gov. Roosevelt’s Position. The dinner tendered to MHarvard’s victorious oarsmen at the American House, Boston, Friday evening was at- tended. by over 400 Harvard graduates and guests, including President Eliot, Governor Wolcott and Governor Roose- velt. The three crews who won from Yale last June were present and each member of them received an ovation. Besides these athletes, the track men, who won points for Harvard in the Intercollegiate meeting, and the baseball nine were present. Mr. C. C. Beaman of New York was toastmaster and after the dinner was over, three hours were passed in speech-making. Every man who had a hand in helping Harvard to make her great record in athletics last year was warmly praised and William A. Brooks thanked them all in the name of the University for their endeavors and presented each man with a gold pin. A cablegram of greeting was also sent to Coach R. C. Lehmann at his home in England. . President Eliot gave a considerable portion of his speech to the consideration of athletics, and to Harvard’s choice of competitors, and in the course of his 2 as according to the Boston Globe, said: “T like very much the expression of Mr. Storrow that we wanted our share of winnings. The competition with one university always winning would soon become tame. We want our opponents winning sometimes. To be sure, to make things even we ought to win for on't take Cold, When we have Sweaters, and Wool Rugs and such things for you Gloves, and Steamers to wear at the Princeton game. W.H.

HAYNES, Proprietor. several years to come. Then I want to sav a word about our legitimate competi- tors in this sport; in all our sports. I don’t like being tied up to any competi- tors in any sport, and I don’t know _ which university I should like to choose if I had to do so. We want a variety. We want to row with the best club after Harvard; we want to play with the best baseball club after Harvard and the best football team after Harvard. Seek al- ways the most competent competitor, no matter where it is. “Now consider the total number of students in a half dozen American uni- versities within easy reach of us. Our number of students this year is about 5200. About how many has Yale? Just about half the number of students. There are two universities that have more than Yale—Columbia and Cornell —and in my judgment Cornell is going to go ahead of Yale rapidly in the num- ber of students. Moreover there are some sports in which Cornell is likely greatly to excel. I believe in Harvard’s seeking the best competitor all round, everywhere, the very best, and not tying itself to any one. Nobody, I believe, appreciates more highly than I do the value of athletics in a university.” When Governor Roosevelt arose he paid a magnificent tribute to the Har- vard athletes and the system recently adopted which made their work possible. Regarding Yale as an antagonist Gover- nor Roosevelt said: “There is one point upon which I fear I should be a little heretical, accord- ing to the president’s view. I am a bit of a dual league man myself. I wish from time to time we would have ath- letic contests of the crew. of the nine, or eleven with men from any part of the United States, but for a steady, year in and year out antagonist in all branches give me Yale.” These sentiments were loudly ap- plauded by the assembly. hn, dr Be ci aay Gift to the Scientific School. A gift of five thousand dollars has just been made to the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale University by Mr. Wil- liam A. Rogers of Buffalo, New York, a graduate of the School in the Class of 1874. This gift is made by Mr. Rogers for the foundation of a scholar- ship, which will be known as the Rogers Scholarship, and will be awarded for excellence in Chemistry or Biology at the end of Junior year. It is intended that the recipient of the Scholarship shall receive the income from the fund during his Senior year, and according to the terms of the gift, it may be re- tained during one year of post-gradu- ate study. a Yale-Princeton Souvenir.
