...boats intended for those who row for exercise only were, except in a few instances, not used at all. The University Crew, when placed beside a first-rate crew, made no show whatever, and when placed beside ordinary crews, lost its chance of winning simply because money enough was not raised to buy a boat in season to prepare for the race.
