At the same time there is woven into the narrative a thread of romance which comes to full view and development in the latter part. While the writing is not always as choice in conception and language as might be desired, and while it is not perfectly free from noticeable grammatical errors, it is still a strikingly original and fascinating book, and one well worth the reading...

Captain Trimble occupies a more difficult position than has been held by any captain of the Crew for several years; but he has already proved himself well fitted for the place. Upon the new men rests a large part of the responsibility of sustaining Harvard's boating record. They can do much towards making the captain's position an easy one, and we look to them for hard, earnest work. Yale is enthusiastic under her new captain, and has voted to challenge us at once. Her crew, the same as last...
