...Bancroft as an oarsman is well known. Whatever success Harvard has had for the last eight years in boating is wholly due to him. He has devoted much of his valuable time, year after year, to coaching various crews. With what success this has been done is readily seen by consulting the record of Harvard since 1876. Mr. Bancroft is a graduate of the college, has occupied and does now occupy important positions in public life. The undergraduates are enthusiastically in favor of him as a coach, as is every man who has to do with boating in the college...
...York. The first duty before the committee was to pass resolutions on the death of Prof. Packard, who was acting director, prior to the directorship of the present incumbent. After this a report was read from Prof. Van Benscohoten, which was exceedingly favorable and showed the growing success of the school. He stated that the library now contained 2,000 volumes of valuable works relating to classical study.

In other words, in the hope of ultimately revolutionizing the American college system of athletics, Harvard's chances of success are to be sacrificed...
...shells are very expensive, and professionals use them, the committee may possibly forbid the crews to row in them. Barges are much safer and last at least ten years. Yale, after a half dozen successive victories, might be persuaded to row in a barge. The expenses of boating at Harvard and Yale would undoubtedly be lowered, and our Catalonian triumvirate would have purified athletics, and restored their pristine simplicity and cheapness. The results of giving up our regular coach may not be as disastrous to our boating prospects as an order to row in a barge; but when four mile...
