...does not row his shoulders back, thus making his finish weak. He swings out from his oar at the finish. No. 5 gets a weak finish and does not sit up well. He lets his outside shoulder swing forward on the full reach, and is apt to be careless in his rowing. He swings out. No. 4 keeps his arms bent even on the full reach. He does not get his shoulders on at all at the beginning of the stroke, letting his slide get ahead of his shoulders. He swings out. No. 3 starts forward too slowly and gets...
...number contains several very good bits of verse. The light poem of Mr. Frothingham, '84, though somewhat long and careless, is perhaps the best of its kind.

It is hardly an admitted trait of the gentleman, and such I presume, these men consider themselves and wish us to consider them...
