Harvard’s View of It.
{Harvard Bulletin Editorial.]}
The annual four.mile race with Yale
at New London on Thursday last re-
sulted in the defeat of the Harvard
Crew, after a most plucky and well
fought struggle. The Yale Crew was
a fast one; a faster one, indeed, than
Yale has sent to New London for a
good many years, and the New Haven
university has good right to be proud of
it. While Harvard was beaten let us
not forget that the defeat was not with-
out honor. Storrow, Higginson, Hard-
ing; these names will go down in our
gm _boating history equally honored with
those who have borne the Crimson to
victory. To the coach who, confronted
with a grave crisis at the eleventh hour,
turned courageously to do the best that
could be done, too much praise and
credit cannot be given. We accept the
defeat, but we cannot forget the spirit
of those men of Harvard at New Lon-
don in the Spring of 1900; for it is
prophetic of what has been coming to
full growth these ten years past; the
winning Harvard spirit.

A Description of the Race.
The account of the Yale-Harvard
races in Harper’s Weekly of July 7,

includes a very interesting and intelligent
analysis of the two strokes used, with
a brief summary of the .contest. The
article is accompanied by an unusually
fine illustration of the finish of the
race, showing the line of yachts, the
two crews and the official boats follow-
