After a slight delay, caused by rough water on the course, the boats were sent into position. Columbia had won the toss, and had chosen the west side of the course. At the word both crews got away in good form, though Columbia had manifestly the advantage of the start...
...Dartmouth games. If these were lost, we should not have even a chance for the championship. To win, or even tie for first place both Dartmouth games would have to be won.

To them the word practical is nearly synonymous with technical. The word should be taken in a broader sence than this. Any study is more or less practical, as it tends more or less directly towards aiding one in his life's work, whatever that may be. Hebrew is just as practical...
