Accordingly the Agora and the Forum were organized as upper class debating clubs, drawing their membership from all students in the University except Freshmen, who still had the Freshman Debating Club. During the year, each of the clubs has had about 40 active members, who were divided into teams of four men each.

...Freshman crew is expected to win the first race of the day in the Regatta. The crew has been rowing well since a week before the men left Cambridge. Bacon at stroke is a reliable man and can row a fairly fast clip when necessary. Moreover, the Harvard Freshmen are a heavier and a smoother rewing crew than the Yale 1910 boat.
