...factor to be considered is that now, when the war makes it imperative to reduce all expenses to the minimum, is the time to inaugurate a reform of this kind. The high cost of rowing has always been traceable to the Poughkeepsie regatta, with its late date and its long and costly period of preliminary training.

Putnam was graduated from Newton High School in 1916. Last spring he went to France with an ambulance unit and after finishing his work in that branch entered the aviation service. In a letter to a friend several weeks ago, Putnam told of a 2,000-foot fall, from which he escaped with nothing more serious than two broken teeth...
