...Harvard man will deny that they were well rewarded, last June, for their faithfulness. With us, a place is won on the crew to satisfy personal ambition; and when all have seen that it was once won, and can be retained at the holder's option, it is calmly relinquished, and the ex-varsity man rests complacently on his honors; but a place on the crews which we have turned out for the past four years is no such honor as these men seem to think they have made...
