...under conditions the most favorable as far as they themselves were concerned. That is, the race was to be for a mile and a half, their most practiced distance; they had been rowing together for at least a year under professional coaching, and they were to meet a crew whose little training had been exclusively devoted to four-mile pulls, and which was, therefore, unqualified, other things being equal, to cope successfully with men whose strong point was a mile and a half spurt. Nevertheless, this crew, with their professional trainer and his methods, was beaten by Columbia...
...avail themselves of them. The committee asks you, also, to urge upon your trustees the creation of travelling scholarships to facilitate attendance at the school of graduates of moderate means. To all classical students the school affords an opportunity to pursue their studies under competent direction among a people whose literary language is less different from that of Xenophon than his from that of Herodotus; to those interested in epigraphy and history it gives access to the richest existing store of Greek inscriptions and to all the famous sites of Hellas; while to American students of Greek art and archaeology...

In the evenings when worked up he was fond of relating how the Turks decapitated condemned prisoners. Standing in the middle of the room...
...held for so many years, it seems a good time for training more carefully than heretofore a team for this event. We can of course have no regular trainer for this purpose, but some student might be selected to captain the team or have general charge of it, in whose hands the selection of the team could be placed. With our many facilities for indoor training it seems humiliating to be beaten in this event by smaller colleges with fewer numbers. Careful training during the winter would make us reasonably sure of this contest, for although the teams pull...
