The suggestion offered in the Exonian as regards teaching the Exeter crews the proper method of rowing, has certainly much to commend it. The whole objection in the past to aiding the academy boating interests has been that the men there were liable to acquire a bad system of rowing, so that it would afterwards be harder to teach them the Harvard stroke than it would if they had known absolutely nothing about rowing. The Exonian, in mentioning a way for removing this objection, appeals indirectly to Harvard, and its plea deserves to be presented and considered. Three years ago a Harvard man undertook to teach the Exeter students the Harvard stroke, but we are under the impression that his efforts were not rewarded with sufficient results on the part of the Exeter students. We are sure that several men could be found who would be willing to teach Exeter the Harvard stroke, provided they were assured careful work and strict attention.
