...returning to Cambridge we had a series of unexpected bits of good luck in the selling of old boats, recovering the money spent on defective oars, and in other ways. We had up to that time incurred bills for a new cedar shell, for oars, training table, boat house charges, use of launch and various smaller items, amounting in all to $1131.76. We sold our broken barge for $50.00, the old paper shell of our freshman year for $20.00, our old cedar shell for $235.00, and the new one with the oars for $350.00. Including the money raised by subscription...
Under these circumstances it seemed reasonable to help the '98 Weld crew, which had gotten heavily in debt owing to a series of misfortunes culminating in their boat race. We felt justified in doing so, as the Weld cres are virtually second class crews and the money had been subscribed for class and for crew purposes.

The remainder, some $250.00, is still to be disposed of. It had been my intention...

The 'Varsity and Freshman crews will leave Cambridge on Wednesday morning, June 8, and will arrive at Red Top in time for luncheon. The shells will be sent down with the men and there will be rowing on the Thames in the afternoon...
...Harlem Regatta yesterday, the Weld Senior crew defeated both the Bohemian Club crew and the Columbia 'varsity. Although the Weld boat got a poor start it succeeded in pulling up and passing the Bohemian shell at the half mile mark and won out by over a length. The crews finsihed: Weld senior first, Bohemian Club second, Columbia 'varsity third. Time...
