...fact that so many men have come out for the Weld crews shows the general growing appreciation for the club, the more so as one half of these are candidates from 1900 and 1901. The only drawback to having so many candidates is the inability of the club to supply a sufficient number of barges. As this greatly handicaps careful coaching, the squads will probably be cut down some time next week...

Victor Hugo in his "Preface de Cromwell" defined the drama as a mixture of the tragic and the comic with an historic stage setting and with out the three unities.

Beneficial as gymnasium work is and to be encouraged among a certain class of men, if it puts a premium on indoor in opposition to outdoor exercise, and encourages individual at the expense of team work, it is in measure disadvantageous. This fact has already been recognized by a number of men with the result that our list of 50 strong men can as a whole scarcely be called representative. Thus though the danger exists it is improbable that intercollegiate rivalry will increase sufficiently to exaggerate training for strength tests at Harvard...
