...opinion of the best oarsmen whom I have met, that in 1885 certain faults crept into the Harvard stroke and that they have never been wholly eradicated. Consequently while crews composed of splendid winning material have gone year after year to New London, victories have been few and far between...
...perfected her stroke that a study of the English methods might not give her some new and valuable ideas. It seems to us, however, that much more would be gained if Harvard could send to England her next year's coach and one of the younger oarsmen, rather than two oarsmen alone. It is the coach who determines the style of stroke, not the crew men themselves, hence it is a question if an outlay of this kind would be justified unless the trainer himself was to be one of the number to learn the English methods...
