...rows are usually four or five miles long, on which the crew is followed by the coach in another boat, and stopped often for instruction. Every few days a longer journey is taken to give the men a chance to get together. On Saturday last the row was to Watertown and back. The speed was fair, and the men kept the boat unusually steady for this time of the season...
CAPTAIN COOK has been spending a few days in Boston. He speaks very highly of the style in which the Harvard crew is rowing. Mr. Dana, their coach, has recently visited England, and under his training the men show great improvement over their work of last year. They give promise of being an excellent eight, and the contest will undoubtedly be of unusual interest. - Record...
...hoped for from the club crews in the way of bringing to notice and training a supply of oarsmen from which to select candidates for the University, and on this subject much has been written; but, strangely enough, the most vital point has been entirely neglected, viz. the proper coaching of the men in the club crews.

The candidates are being worked, to a large extent, according to the principles laid down in Woodgate's "Rowing Manual," and are under the guidance of the captain and Mr. Dana, the coach. The financial condition of the club is such that the strictest economy will be necessary next summer, and there is even danger that lack of money will become an obstacle to our success.

Harvard's faults, or rather her complete ignorance of what the best stroke is, has become a transmittendum. The coach of each year inherits the infirmities of his collegiate boating ancestors. I believe in the complete extinction of the Harvard oar. My fear is that there will be some idiotic idea of improving the stroke by engrafting upon it, and that, should Harvard win the next race, the persuasion...
