...visit the rooms of the lady students, nor ladies the rooms of the gentleman students." Care has been taken that young ladies and gentlemen shall not quarrel, for we read that "scuffling, noisy sports, and disorderly company" (whatever that may be) are at all times strictly prohibited. Drury is even ahead of Dartmouth in the way of reforming college morals. To quote again from the rules: "Students must wholly abstain from all profane, vulgar, or unbecoming language. They must not use any intoxicating liquors as a beverage, nor go to any billiard or bowling saloon...
...prefaced by the notice that, hereafter every student will be required to register on the first day of the college year.

The jump at the beginning, which amounts to a jerk and causes the stroke to slacken in the middle, makes the middle and end inefficient; whereas an even, equable pull from beginning to end, well marked and defined at the beginning by getting the oar-blade instantly buried on the full reach, and pulled evenly clear through to the end, is more desirable. There is no use in banging the water on the full reach. Simply bury the oar-blade, instantly but lightly, throwing the weight and strength on quickly and without any hang...
