...HC: Do you think the corporate sponsorship and commercialization are positive things? EK: I think it's a great thing. A great thing. Because that enables the international crews. This year you're going to have the top six men's scullers and the top women's single scullers from the world competing. That's awesome! You're going to have the Germans here, you have the German Youth National Team coming here rowing out of Harvard. It's going to be remarkable, so in that regard, sure, bring it on.

...HC: Do you have any special rivalries? WH: The big guns, Princeton and Brown. But of course Yale because we have the oldest rivalry in the country--the oldest competition in the United States--and it really means a lot to us to be able to hang with them in the Head...
