...elation of leading and winning cheers and strengthens the crew, as because the winning crew commonly is originally in the best condition. The four-mile race also requires more training than is possible with due regard for the exigencies of university work. If crews could be trained with the view of rowing a waiting race, the four-mile contest would usually not seriously increase the strain and exhaustion. By a waiting race not such dilatory tactics, of course, are indicated as often render the beginning of bicycle and foot races tame, dull, and almost ridiculous; but that due preliminary husbanding...

There has been no break in the relations, and the baseball and track games and the crew races will be held as usual this spring. For the present it is agreed that all differences in regard to questions about these contests, including questions...

The speaker, who has been consecrated Missionary Bishop of the Episcopal Church in the Philippine Islands, has never visited the Islands, and so spoke not of the concrete difficulties of his task, but of the general problem to be faced by the nation.
