...recent work of the crew proves that it has speed. Most of the men exhibit plenty of life and seem to have endurance enough for the long distance. The different styles through the boat and the awkward rowing of two or three men make the crew appear less favorably than it did last year before going to Poughkeepsie, but the blade work is good and well together. The chief faults of the crew are at present unsteadiness and a hurried recover. The leg drive, although it has improved lately, is not yet as powerful as it ought...
...yesterday and may ultimately fill that position. Higginson has been doing better work since his change from stroke to 4. His rowing is long and at the same time snappy. The three bow-men, Wadsworth, Blake and Harding, have all shown improvement in the last week. Wadsworth, although awkward, is a strong and effective oar. Blake is smooth, but has a tendency to rush his slide. Harding is doing well at bow. Although a short man, he pulls his stroke out with the rest and is quick enough for his position...

Sweetland '99, however, although a trifle awkward, is a tower of strength there and should develop into a valuable man. Wakeman '99, last year's bow oar, has been forced to yield his seat to Dalzell '99, who is much heavier and a splendid oarsman. Strong as the crew may be, Mr. Courtney is not a little worried...
...Robert and Lucas individualized his parts more than any one else, spoke his lines distinctly, and used his hands well. Of the female characters E. L. Dudley 1900 as Martine gesticulated with good effect. The other parts were all acted remarkably well, there were almost none of the awkward lapses and patently forced gestures which usually mar amateur performances. Indeed the ease and continuity of action and the effort to avoid confusion on the stage led several times to an unnecessary restlessness that was tiring...
