...take out a man who has set the stroke for two solid years, substituting an entirely new man with only ten days of practice before the Yale race, is staring defeat in the face, with only a possible chance of benefiting the crew. There is no comparison between the effect of putting in a new number 2, as last year, and changing the stroke--the one involves a single man's acquiring the rhythm of an already established stroke, the other making over the entire crew to suit a new rhythm.

The feeling in the article is good; but the imperfect workmanship and the tendency to moralize give the effect of a school composition. "The Friend," a sonnet, though not quite musical and at the end not quite clear, may be called a "lovable" poem for its fine spirit and its unpretentious truth. The other poem, "The West," shows in the rhythm experience and some skill; but "meadowland" and "hinterland...
