...Another mistake which I consider a grave one is in the method of training commonly followed. In nearly all American colleges one of the methods of training oarsmen is to run them from one to five miles per day in the hope of thus increasing their staying powers.

The prospect of several runs this fall, and some of them by moonlight with a dinner at a hotel in some one of the adjoining towns, ought to bring out both old and new members in full force, and we urge all bicyclers who wish to secure their own pleasure...
