...lingo of the steersman seasoned, perhaps, with a spicy bit of Billinsgate will comprise part of the academic career of Harvard coxswains during the next few weeks.

There are but three coxswains who have had much experience now in the upper classes, since both Pforzheimer, University coxswain, and R. W. Herr '28, Jayvee steersman, graduated last year.
