The Cornell Era Volume 33 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Cornell Era, 1901-1902, Vol. 34: A Journal of the University Our success on the water this year was in one sense a double victory. Besides defeating five other fast crews we at the same time wiped out the lingering discouragement left by the defeats of the past two years and established a record that many a crew will work hard to break. The uninitiated can not appreciate the stupendous amount of training our crews experience before the Old Man con siders them ripe enough for the all-important trial. The men go on the machines early in the winter and their untiring faith fulness during the long tedious hours of indoor work is no small criterion by which the coaches pick their men. Then come the cold spring days before overcoats are discarded when the shivering candidates don their rowing garb and betake themselves to the frosty waters of the inlet only to be 'called down, overhauled and even bounced by the Old Man. All this severe handling, however, lends more encouragement to the chosen few upon whose shoulders will fall the struggle later on.
