...Turning over the leaves of the record, Captain Hull said: 'Here is the record of our last run, five miles; these were always at a steady pace, improvement, not distress, being their object.' On February 20, the ice was out of the river, and work on the water was resumed, the gymnasium exercise and running being both dispensed with. Both eights were put to work again as in the fall, and on April 1 the crew, as at present constituted, was decided upon. It should be stated that all the Yale rowing has been done in shells, and always...
...bent arm work, but that is little else than natural with such a style of stroke. The men go back and forward without swinging out of the straight line and the boat is kept tolerably steady. The stroke is nothing more than so many snatches at the water, but for all that the boat travels fast, and the rapidity of the rate should take the crew away from one rowing something like ten strokes a minute less; but it remains to be seen whether it can keep them in front of a boat propelled by long, telling strokes...
...dive into antiquity to secure proofs in support of this proposition. Society declares it a fact of common experience and observation. The ferment into which this country was thrown by the recent advent of a disciple of the heresy of long hair from a certain effete despotism across the water, alone stands as a sufficient warning against the dangerous doctrine. Harvard's continued success (certainly in a social way) is to be traced to this small but important beginning of hers, and the supremacy that the college now holds in the matter of fashions is certainly...
...courses in fine arts, which they may have followed here. Among other notable sketches are some studies by Ruskin and a series of illustrations by Darte and Gabriel Rossetti, which should attract much attention from the signatures, if for no other reason. Mr. Moore also has some very fine water color sketches from Venice and Italy, which show an extraordinary delicacy of coloring. As the exhibition will close in a few days, and we feel confident that very few persons have visited it, we would again urge every one to take a few minutes of his leisure time for this...
...crooked back or an uneven slide. Here, it is to be feared, will be discovered the weakness of the Yale crew. The crew do not observe the excellent rule made by Captain Cook, that the strength of the stroke should be expended at the moment the blade catches the water, and when the oar becomes at right angles to the boat the effort should be lessened, so that the stroke could be finished without jerk or splash, allowing opportunity to return quickly for the second stroke...
