...indispensible to the rowing interests of the whole University, and calls for universal recognition and support. If proof of this is needed look at the number of men now with the 'Varsity squad who were developed entirely by their Weld training. That only those who actively participate in a sport should be interested in it to the point of contributing toward it support, is illogical.

...indeed to be regretted. His effots in behalf of Harvard rowing have won for him the gratitude of the University, but it is not only for instruction in oarsmanship that rowing men have to thank him.

The objection that such an event would be an anticlimax to the regular class race and would therefore fall flat...
