However binding on the free mind orthodoxy may come to be, it contains the kernel of immutable truth. The resulting evils are caused by the emphasis of the non-essentials, the bare shell of the idea being emphasized to the exclusion of the true meaning...
...occupying the same seats they filled last year. Lunt, however, has gone to four and Faulkner has been shifted from three to bow. Morgan, now at three, rowed against Yale and Cambridge in 1906, but was a substitute last year. Consequently there are only two new men in the shell at present--Sargent and Bacon; they and Morgan fill up the three positions left by R. L. Bacon, Farley, and Tappan...
...boats. On the whole, however, the chances seem to favor Newell, for the men have more unity in their rowing, and keep their blades longer in the water. Weld is inclined to clip the finish of the stroke, and at times there is a noticeable check of the shell between strokes, as the men do not control their slides well. Furthermore, although Weld is decidedly fast over the first part of the course, the boat becomes dead towards the finish. The second Weld crew should win out against Newell second, which has hardly been out twice in the same order...
Yesterday afternoon a scrub crew tried out the new English shell, taking a 10 mile paddle up the river beyond the Watertown Arrenal. The members of the crew found difficulty in getting used to the thole-pin rowlocks and short slides which mark the rigging of an English as compared with an American boat.

...shell, which was presented to the University boat club by W. C. Baylies '84 was built by Sims, the well-known Putney boat-builder. It is 63 feet in length, 18 inches longer than the shell used at New London last June; and 24 1-2 inches in breadth in-board, one-half inch broader than last year's boat. The seats, according to the English custom, are placed alternately on either side of the centre, each being three inches from the middle line. This makes possible the use of shorter out-riggers, thus diminishing the amount of power lost...
