...first article on this subject printed recently, the average annue expenditure is calculated, and at the end, Professor Palmer speaks of the high charges for room rent and tuition at Harvard, suggesting that it might be thought that this places a Harvard education out of the reach of the poor man. Continuing he says...

Without the slide no amount of rowing together would equalize the stroke; the short man would have to catch later or finish later than the long man, the result of which is, of course, unsteadiness in the boat and diminution of speed; for racing craft...
