...however, as if a man might be found who could be of great help to men beginning at the Weld boat house. His services could be secured by the month, and he could be dismissed at any time he proved unsatisfactory. Such an arrangement could result in no possible harm, and might end in much good. The Corporation of Harvard has not a reputation for amiability; but at the occasional times when they show some signs of it by offering to give us some help in our boating, it certainly seems a pity not to take advantage...

Experience has shown in many ways that Harvard does not want anything to do with professionals; they have never done us any good, and no one can judge how much harm. The instructor must then be taken from the ranks of the smateurs, but in glancing over the names of the very limited number of men whom it is possible and advisable to employ, we are able to find no one who understands rowing and coaching as well as Bancroft.
