...three very good illustrations in the book, taken from photographs. The first represents the '89 crew on the water; the second, the crew waiting for supper in the little lounging cabin before Captain Molthrop's house; and the third, the Yale-Columbia-Harvard race, taken just before Yale sank.

The supporters of '86 returned a feeble cheer, but their hearts sank as they saw an adventurous sophomore divest himself of his shoes and begin to climb up the flag pole.
