Harvard rowed as well as anyone ever expected them to. The surprise was Vesper. The victory by Vesper may, in fact, have profound consequences for U.S. rowing.

But Strauss saved for the end the most revealing expressions of his artistic philosophy. Having been judged a walking anachronism, he felt...
