Remembering that Harvard's primary aim is to make its students perfect physical specimens, the University has taken this further step to insure their good health.

Furthermore, seven of the nine men in the boat are Sophomores, rowing their first race since Poughkeepsic, when last year as Freshman they confounded experts by placing second...
...been for Harvard to assume an early lead and then under stroke the opposition all the way to the finish. Saturday this plan did not work, for Cornell's powerful eight, which had a four pound per man advantage over Harvard, gained its half length while rowing a fraction over 31 as compared to Curwen's steady...
