...just here is where the present arrangement at Memorial Hall is inefficient and does a real injustice to a majority of students; since it does not provide for that large body of men who find it necessary to go outside to get the food suited to their desires. It is essential to keep the price of board as low as possible to suit the means of those who cannot afford to pay a high price; this fact all must recognize; but is it necessary in so doing to drive out the large class of men who want and must have...
...fastest; for builders universally admit that the making of a very fast boat is more a matter of luck than of science and rule. We ought to have three boats to select from, - one from England, one from Blakey, and one paper. Of these, the College will certainly get one, probably that from Blakey; for the paper boat, we can hardly hope; but the boat from England, where the building of shells has been most perfected, is imperatively needed, and for this we can look only to graduates; and it is to procure this that their assistance is sought. That...
Tuesday, Jan. 23. - Twelve men present. Pull seven hundred and fifty strokes. Run two miles. The "time" has improved during the past two weeks, but the men are not well together on the shoot of the hands and the slide forward. Some of the men fail to get the proper recover. Loring reaches forward too much with his shoulders, does not sit up well at the finish, and is inclined to "settle." He shoots his hands quickly, but lets his body follow too fast. Legate fails to get enough body reach forward, does not always pull his oar "home...
Friday, Jan. 19. - Ten men present. Pull eight hundred strokes, and run one mile and a half. In trying to get their hands away from their bodies, in the recover, the men hurry the bodies forward: this makes the recover too quick. No part of the stroke is more difficult to acquire; it is one of the points in which English rowing differs from American, and is considered by Englishmen of great importance. Schwartz at present does the recover better than the rest of the men. No. 6 (W. M. Le Moyne) does not keep his back straight, "buckets," fails...
...strictest economy will be necessary next summer, and there is even danger that lack of money will become an obstacle to our success. For instance, unless a special effort is made, it will be impossible to order more than one racing-boat; and although it is desirable to get a boat from England, the risk in bringing it over is so great that the experiment will not be made unless there is something else to fall back on in case it should be injured. If a boat could be ordered in England and paid for from some outside source...
