"Cornell Fans Pulled the Oarsmen Out of the Boat, Lifting Them Onto Their Shoulders."
Covering the period when rowing reached its height of popularity as a spectator sport, The Rise of Cornell Rowing 1871-1920 offers the reader perspective on the formative years of intercollegiate rowing in America. Readers are transported to a time when race enthusiasts would walk four miles to watch regattas on Saratoga Lake, or wait in long lines to board observation trains in Poughkeepsie. While their success during this era focused attention on Cornel, the championship victories of Pennsylvania, Columbia, Syracuse, Yale, Wisconsin, Princeton, and Bowdoin are detailed for rowing history enthusiasts.
