...coach Harvey Love's undefeated heavyweights, this was the first Henley competition since 1950, when the Crimson made its third successful attempt to take the Grand. The previous victories were in 1914 and 1939. Stroked by sophomore Perry Boyden, the heavies had already enjoyed an excellent season, climaxed by edging out Syracuse for the Eastern Association of Rowing Colleges title in May and thrashing Yale at New London on June 13.
