Then the feeling that from this eight, four would be selected to represent the University at Lake George would tend to increase the zeal and interest of the men. We believe that if the Boat Club authorities should decide upon such action, the college at large would show renewed interest in rowing and that increased subscriptions would flow in to cover the necessarily increased expenses of the club. Of course there may be objections to such a scheme, but if Yale can carry on such a system, it would seem strange that it could not flourish here, where we have...

It ought to be held out to the rising talent of every generation as a calling in which, like all others, a man who loves it and pursues it with zeal can have not only its special and peculiar pleasures but also a fair amount of the material comforts which the bulk of his countrymen seek, and are praised for seeking by all contemporary moralists and theologians...
