...hardly necessary to mention the minor directions; they are of less consequence, and the reasons for them are obvious. The eyes should be fixed on the neck of the man in front; the wrist near the machine should be held slightly curved upward, so as to shorten the corresponding arm; the elbows should be held close to the side, when the arms are bent; the swing forward should be extended until the hands are above the toes, (this distance, however, varies somewhat with individuals); the body should always swing directly over the keel of the boat, never swerving to either...
...this article as may be seen, no mention is made of the University or Freshmen crews. It was found best to defer a full description of them until certain changes have been made in the composition of the Freshman crew. It is gratifying to everybody interested in Harvard boating or in the physical development of students, to notice the large number of students in strict training.

Indeed, belonging, as Cambridge does half to this, half to the last century, but few more interesting cities are to be found in this country...
...forever sending the pictures to his fair friends, who wonder what on earth the sign of "Boarders Wanted," "Hair cut and shave, 50 ets.," or "Reserved for Ladies," can mean. I will say nothing about the uses of a camera during the summer, they are too obvious to mention; but if any one will call at my room I can show him photographs of all my summer "mashes," and few college men can do that...
