...captains of crews, without the assistance of a coach, would have to devote more of their valuable time to boating than at present. Now, aside from the increased efficiency of its crew, every class would prefer to employ a coach in order to relieve the captain or some other oarsman of the trouble of coaching.

Here, at Harvard, it is true that only two regularly organized nines are in training; a sufficient cause for this, we think, is the lack...
