The Cornell navy : a review . on from Yale at New London and lost to Cambridge University in England. This ends the record of the Cornell Navy to date (January 1, 190 7). What the futureholds in store for her we can only surmise; but if a system firmly established upon a broadcommon sense basis, a long and creditable list of victories, determination on the part of anenthusiastic and ever increasing body of grads and undergrads, count for anything,Cornell will continue to win a fair share, and perhaps something more than a fair share, ofvictories on the water. In the fall of 1905 an intra-coUege challenge cup was offered by Mr. J. H. Barr, a former professor, and atthe time an Alumni Trustee of the University. The first regatta for that trophy was held in May, 1906,on the Inlet, over a quarter-mile course, and was won by the College of Civil Engineering. The races wererowed in eight-oared gigs, two crews rowing at a time, and five colleges competing. It promises to be one of thepopular rowing events of the year. 50. Taylor Foote VARSITY 1906Gavat Dods Slowdl Barton Newman If asked to analyze the causes of her past success, I should perhaps say with Mr. C. , in a letter written some years ago, that it has been the result of the exercise of goodjudgment in the selection of the personnel of the crews, of faithful training on the part ofthose selected, and a determination not to admit the possibility of defeat. While not takingfrom the oarsmen one tittle of credit, however, he goes on to say, and w^hile appreciatingat their proper value advantages of good w^ater, and the big hill, w^hich does much tow^arddeveloping leg muscle and lung power, yet to the intelligent and careful coaching ofMr. Charles E. Courtney more than to all other causes combined, is the Cornell Navy indebtedfor her long list of victories.
