...professional training of the forester, just as in the case of the doctor, are quite distinct and peculiar. I do not believe that we have anybody here who could pretend to give this training, and even if we should secure some one to do the teaching, we should still lack proper equipment. It is misleading to speak as if the College, apart from the professional schools, could give the would-be forester more than it gives anyone else, a good foundation for his special knowledge...
...timber that is over-ripe or "forest weeds." To give proper training in this profession Harvard would have to secure no small equipment, and to set out to do this at present would seem to me to be following our pride rather than our good sense. There are still comparatively few men who are going in for forestry. These are more than provided for by the schools at Biltmore, Cornell and New Haven, and for various reasons we should find it hard to rival what Yale, helped by the Pinchot family, is doing already. I cannot see, therefore, how Harvard...
There are still more than 200 of the Seniors in Cambridge who have not yet sent in their Class lives to the Secretary, and of the men away from Cambridge the percentage of those who have not sent them in is comparatively much greater. Every man is urged to make an effort to get his life in immediately, for otherwise it will be impossible to get out a comprehensive report in the autumn. Any member of the Class who has not received blanks himself, or having received them has lost or destroyed them, will kindly notify the Secretary at once...
...half mile at 30 to the minute but the boat stopped noticeably between strokes. The crews returned at 11 and the men who had examinations took them in the tent. In the late afternoon, under favorable conditions, the University crew went over the four-mile course. The boat was still unsteady, tending to fall over to starboard and hitching somewhat between strokes. McGrew showed ability to put up the stroke, raising it at one period to 36. In the last half mile the crew steadied down and were rowing in their best form at the finish. The men finished strong...
...Freshman crew took a short row up-stream yesterday afternoon, coached by R. F. Blake '99 and H. Bancroft '97, and showed some improvement over the work of last week. Although some of the men still have a tendency to wash out at the finish, the leg drive is stronger and the whole crew seems to have more life. The stroke rowed, however, is very slow, and when it is quickened the work becomes ragged, and the boat rolls. The crew will probably take a harder row today in the new shell built by Davy for use in the race...
