Yale Crew Quarters, Gales Ferry, Conn., June 15, 1910.--After the strenuous eleven-mile row of yesterday, the Yale university and freshman eights were given light work today. In the freshman boat a temporary change was made, Gregg replacing Walker at 6. The latter is slightly indisposed at present, but will return within a few days. Both eights tried several racing starts. In the afternoon all the crews went for an easy paddle up-stream instead of toward the Navy Yard as usual...

But as long as Harvard teams are allowed to compete in the event, and men are encouraged to come out for them, there should be competent coaching, in order that the risk of injury may be minimized and that...
...chosen for the development of the mental capacity and the character of the cadet, who is put through a rigorous course of instruction and physical training, and who, at all hours of the day and night, is under the immediate supervision of a commissioned officer. He leads the strenuous and the simple life. The Academy believes that no man can command others until he has himself learned the strictest kind of discipline...
