...winning crew usually finishes fresher than its competitors. This happens not so much because the elation of leading and winning cheers and strengthens the crew, as because the winning crew commonly is originally in the best condition.

This has been the main fault of the team throughout the year, and now remains practically the only one that has not been remedied. The men, however, have developed in rapid stick-work...
...period last year. The sales of the Cambridge department alone amount to $133,214, showing an increase of $5,473.75 over last year. The sales of the Medical School department amount to $25,435.22, which shows a decrease of $4,648.74.
