...known that that fact was to be spread abroad. Hardly any one knew who were the unsuccessful candidates last year, for the publication of a list of all applicants is an innovation of the Advocate. Let us hope that, in future, that paper may not be driven to disregard the feelings of students for the sake of filling up its item column...
...have to admit that those who declare that too much time is given to muscular development at Harvard cannot have attended this year's meetings. It is also to be regretted that some of those who did enter seemed to have given little time to previous preparation. The apparent disregard of skill was particularly noticeable in the sparring, where once or twice the men appeared to forget that this art differs essentially from one practised in the prize-ring.

One of the causes of '81's ill success this year was the laxity of discipline of the man who held the most responsible position on the crew. His own carelessness and disregard of duty, though not contagious, disgusted and disheartened the men, and fitted them for anything but hard work. Races worth winning cannot be won without a vast amount of conscientious work and self-denial. This is a platitude, we know; but it is a very important one in boat-racing...
