He bore his learning with a grace that was peculiarly...

Another object in instituting the cups was to interest in secondary rowing men not qualified to make the University or class crews. Mr. Fuller made it clear that every one was eligible to row in the dormitory races, and that there were no technicalities preventing men from participating.
