    Must have been a big race of various colleges. Rowing is still big on the Hudson. This is a beautiful part of the Hudson, on up. Ah, here we go: ecommons.cornell.edu/bitstream/1813/3545/7/030_34.pdf

Averill [i.e. W. Averell] Harriman (LOC)

    He was a senior at Yale in 1913. Hard as it is to believe, he went on to bigger things than Yale crew: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Averell_Harriman

    Misspelling of "Averell Harriman>" (W. Averell Harriman)
  • Wystan said:
    Date, 6-18-[19]13, is inscribed in reverse in lower right corner of the negative.
  • Barbara (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks--Harriman's middle name does appear to be misspelled on the negative. We'll adjust the description and add the date when we update the record. (While doing a bit more research, I discovered that Harriman was definitely in the news in the spring of 1913: a Boston Globe article from April 27, 1913 referred to Harriman as Yale's "Millionaire Coach" and goes on to note that he was "the first undergraduate of a big college ever to have been made head coach of the varsity crews without having himself pulled an oar in a varsity boat" - p. 68).
