...middle of last week. When they first got into their light boat they of course were at sea, but in the last few days they have made great advances. To be sure their form is very bad but that will make improvement easier. The oars on the starboard side have a strong tendency to get high off the water; number 7 especially might improve his rowing by lowering his oar a foot or two in the recover. Most of the men kick out their slides during the stroke and several (notably 4) hang at the finish. Yesterday they rowed...
...necessary to quote price-lists of rooms and furniture to show that a reasonable number of men can be accommodated in the college buildings at an average price of $22.00 for rooms and $1000 for furniture annually.

As a consequence nearly every boat twists with use in such a manner that the port side near the stern and the starboard side near the bow are lowered, i. e. the boat assumes the shape of a screw. The cross bracing devised by the builders of the past year is simply a scheme to prevent this twisting. Mr. Davy's boat looks very well and if anything...
