...University crew took advantage of the warm weather and smooth water yesterday for a hard row over the mile and seven-eighths course in the basin in preparation for the Columbia race. No time was taken as the crew stopped short of the regular distance. A racing start was made at about 38 strokes to the minute, and for the rest of the distance the crew rowed at about 31, until when nearing the finish the stroke was put up again.

He was also a warm-hearted and hospitable friend to a wide circle of men of many callings, and was always ready to serve them as he could, however much it taxed his time and strength, though his hands were full with work of his own, and, during his active service as Professor...
