...hard to get the men to row alike. There is also a certain deadness in the rowing which the men cannot seem to overcome. So the work now is almost entirely spent in getting the men to row alike, and to get out of their heads the fundamentally wrong principles of the last five years.

Nevertheless it is gratifying to us all, and especially to the Pierian Sodality, to learn that the omissions of that memorable evening were not commissions, that it was rather ill-management than ill will that led to the discomforts...
