Crew | Crew team dedicates boat to Adele Fleet Bacow

The members of the men's and women's crew teams gathered Saturday morning at the William A. Shoemaker boathouse at a ceremony to officially name one of the team's new boats in honor of Tufts' first lady, Adele Fleet Bacow. The team purchased the boat last year, and crew team coach Gary Caldwell and University President Lawrence Bacow conspired to name the boat after Adele and keep it a secret until the dedication. While the boat will be used by the women's team, it benefits the entire squad, Caldwell said.
