The rules which she proposes to adopt in her athletic reform are in some respects less sweeping than those we have here adopted; in other points they are even more radical.

We now have the pole and the zenith...

Yet Harvard cannot be said to have progressed much in this line. We seem to be as far off as ever from knowing the cause of our repeated defeats on the water. At least if we do happen to know them, there is no one who is so thoroughly a master of the situation that he can lay down definitely the best methods to follow.
