...their Commencement speakers, and to this end, competition is first necessary. All men who are entitled by their past records to try for parts should surely do so. Competition, however, can not lead to a satisfactory selection if it is undertaken without very careful preparation. The time is fast approaching when it will be useless to attempt such preparation.

The men alternated between the full stroke and the stroke with straight arms. Goodrich was absent and the first crew rowed: Stroke, Rice; 7, Ames; 6, Woodward; 5, Aldrich; 4, Fuller; 3, Butler; 2, Scull; bow, Davis, Stowell...
