...arrangement of his reading matter shows how accurately and broadly he has considered his subject. Undoubtedly, incalculably strong tendencies to health or disease are inherited by all of us; but, on the other hand, every one has within his reach the power to better his form and development.

Mr. Watson has been coaching them during the past two weeks, and his work has had a noticeable effect; but they have still much hard work to do before they can attain the perfect form of the crew of '78. Their present bad form is owing to no lack of conscientious effort, but to the fact that they were unable to be upon the river this spring as early as usual. It is well known, however, how much a crew improves by the practice...
