...freshman crew went to the training table yesterday. Jones '92 seems to be doing pretty effective work with them. They have improved steadily since they went upon the water. The time and blade work looks good - quite as good as any freshman crew for years at this time. The stroke is very short and the men row into their laps.

These were used entirely for pumping water, as rotary motion had not yet been discovered. In 1800 James Watt, whose memory will ever be held in high esteem both by scientific students and the world at large, invented the double-acting engine, operated by a sliding apparatus, which let the steam into opposite ends of the cylinder. Watt introduced what is termed the expansive work of steam...
...recitation being held at the time on the same floor, for had not some of the students perceived the smoke, the fire would doubtless have gone to the attic immediately overhead, thereby causing considerable damage. As it was, the fire was extinguished with a few pails of water. A needless alarm was sent in, and the entrance of the engines to the yard caused great excitement for the time being...
...Columbia freshman crew is hard at work at present and will probably go on the water sometime next week. There are eleven men at work now, ten of whom will be kept to the end. The crew is much better than the average freshman crew. According to a criticism in a New York paper their general fault is that they drop at the full slack and rush their slides. Though it is the duty of both Harvard and Yale to challenge this year, they have not yet done so, and no races have been arranged...
