This is not so. "You have heard me say that I want to bring about a higher standard of scholarship at Harvard; I want to raise the standard of athletics as well as scholarship." For this reason dormitory rowing ought to be developed, because it encourages general exercise and this will ultimately help our University crew. "We want to pour out into the world...
...fiercely-fought race on the Charles River by finishing a few feet of open water ahead of the second crew, which in turn finished about ten lengths ahead of the third crew. An unfortunate blunder on the part of cox-swain King marred the race somewhat, but served to bring out the splendid spirit of the University eight, a spirit which wins races against heavy odds.

To those who live in this community information bureaus, ticket offices, and ushers in greater number than we are accustomed to would offer no additional pleasure in the games, but to the many who come as comparative strangers to Cambridge such minor details would bring much additional enjoyment. West Point has a large squad of enlisted men available for this sort of service; but the Harvard management would have no difficulty in securing a corps of qualified employees who would perform at Harvard games the duties that the regulars accomplish so efficiently at West Point...
