English Shell for Crew Next Fall

A new eight-oared shell, with a complete set of oars, was recently ordered from Sims & Sons, of Putney. London, England. The boat will be delivered early next summer, and will be built according to the English model and English rowing theories. It will have short outriggers, rowlocks without swivels, and seats arranged alternately on the port and starboard sides of the boat. The seat at each place will be near the side opposite the outrigger.

The shell is the gift of W. C. Baylies '84 in memory of the late H. E. Teschemacher '78. It will be used by the University crew next fall.
