...frozen ground, and care was taken to watch the individual players and not play them when they were becoming fatigued. In the first four years the result of this policy was only partially successful. The record shows that there was some improvement over the previous results, Harvard having broken even with Yale, each having won one game and two games tied; Pennsylvania was beaten three out of four times, having won the first year only...
...interesting. It is in the greatly increased amount of general rowing and the improvement in the average standard of skill that the greatest change can be noted. That there has been an advance here no one will doubt who has been down to the river and followed the crews. Even this autumn, in the height of the football season, there were from twelve to fifteen crews out daily, while last spring there were twice that number, many of them being able to swing along at a very good pace...

They were never able to get thoroughly well together, or to row the boat steady, and consequently never got the speed they should have had. Nevertheless, they were even with Yale at 3 3-4 miles and were beaten out at the finish only after a desperate race...
...year of 1900-01 was a repetition of the preceding one in every respect, even so far as the result of the race. However, the crew was a good one, and only lost after a close fight because Yale had a better one. It is unreasonable to expect to win always, but it is not unreasonable to expect that the University crew shall be a good one always.

Can it be claimed that New York graduates are willing to do or have done more for the University than other graduates? Even if it were so, let us believe that a Harvard alumnus serves his Alma Mater out of love, and without thought of such rewards. If the management gave recognition to every graduate, rich or poor, who has done what he could to serve the University there would be few tickets left...
