...were individual ones. The men were together but a short time and had been taught to row in about as many different ways as there are men in the boat. There was hardly time after Mr. Storrow got hold of them to get them in anything like a uniform method of rowing. With what little accuracy words can describe any stroke, is plainly shown in Mr. Watson-Taylor's article.

It is the object of the association to send...

Too often in the past these meetings have been characterized by the wildest confusion, and the elections have in consequence been reduced to the level of drawings in a lottery. By the method of yesterday, however, something like order was assured, and the freshmen were thus allowed to use at least some degree of discretion in their proceedings. We congratulate the author of this idea for his thoughtfulness, and express the sincere hope that this plan may become a recognized feature...
