...mile course. They started shortly after six o'clock, and at the start had a brush with a scratch crew. Below the second bridge a '91 crew rowed with them as far as the Longwood bridge. The class crew had Randol stroke and three substitutes; but rowing a very fast stroke they drew away from the 'varsity about half a length in the half mile. Below the railroad bridge the freshmen took them up for the next half mile. Neither crew gained much advantage, but the freshmen stopped and the sophomores took it up with the 'varsity. Owing to some...

Mr. Stevenson thinks skill to be the essential thing for a fast crew, but the best way to bring a crew up to a degree of skill is by means of form. He thinks that for steady development a fixed standard or ideal is necessary, and a system which the experience of each year will tend to improve. "A full and complete realization of this...
