...more nearly stationary, Yale is laying a surer foundation for future growth than Harvard. Now the fact is that Yale started much ahead of Harvard in the west. In 1820 we did not have a single student from beyond the Alleghanies, while Yale had many from beyond the Hudson river and even from the Western Reserve. Since that time Harvard has grown faster than Yale in every way. Our constituency in the west has grown until at the present day there are very few more western men in New Haven than in Cambridge. In 1878, the year at which...
...crews will not trouble, such men will be enabled at a small expense to carry on their sport as much as they please. There must be many men in college who would enjoy a sculling race vastly, and not the race only, but much more the practice on the river. Pairoared, and four-oared rowing is also very pleasant, and if there were cups offered or a suitable race arranged, many would go into the sport with zest. Such races, once started, would grow in popularity and rowing in time become established on much firmer ground...
...Perkins, '91, Longworth, '91, Winthrop, '91, Hartridge, '90, Nelson, '93, Watriss, '92, Pulsifer, '90, Lothrop, '90, and Herrick, '90. Besides these are Tilton '90, Hutchison '90, and Finlay '91 who all rowed in the crew last year, but for various reasons are not rowing just at present. Although the river is open the crew is at work in the gymnasium on account of the influenza. They simply row a few strokes on the machine every day and afterwards take a long run. There is some danger that it will be hard to get a boat to suit the crew...
...work has been commenced on the stairway leading to the second floor. The large platform on the lower floor is already finished. The two large doors opening from the hall upon the platform have been put in place. Above this platform there is a large balcony, overlooking the river; this balcony has also been completed, barring a few finishing touches to the railing. The builders are pushing ahead and the boat house will probably be ready for use by the end of February...
...change will be made at present in the work of the crew. The men will row on the river as long as possible and it is hoped that the new tank will be ready by the time the river is closed. The work on the tank is being pushed rapidly, the heating apparatus being the only cause for delay. Keyes, '87, is coaching the crews, and will probably continue to do so throughout the year. An indefinite list of the candidates and the positions in which they have been rowing follows: Goddard, stroke; Hutchinson, Jones-7; Long-worth, Watriss...
