...half a length, and, although the stroke had been lowered slightly, still drew away. A quarter of a mile further the lead had been increased to open water, and at Harvard Bridge the University crew was leading by three lengths. At this point Columbia's high stroke began to tell on the men, and the crew was clearly out of the race. From Harvard Bridge to the finish the University crew gained steadily, rowing about 33. Entering upon the final stretch Sargent raised the stroke to 38, and the crew finished fully six lengths ahead...

The best thing we can do is to advise such men to consult the present occupants of these dormitories, but to save them the trouble we can tell them beforehand just what the Seniors will urge them to do. Anyone who has lived in this delightful environment will say that the discomforts are very slight in comparison with the many obvious advantages, and that a Senior year spent in the Yard will never be regretted even by the most...
