...solution of the intercollegiate rowing problem is slowly but surely reaching an end as one college after another announces its policy for the spring work", states Lawrence Perry, in the New York Evening Post.

So true has it been that ship-building has been a mysterious art that little or nothing of value to the lay reader has been published regarding the operations in ship-building, or of the conditions which must be confronted...
