EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Harvard University's rich rowing tradition, as evidenced by the Harvard Try-Out Barge, circa 1925. The twenty-oar barge, an essential tool for selecting and training boat crews, is a testament to the university's commitment to nurturing athletic excellence. The barge, with its large, unusual design, allows the coach to walk up and down the center deck, closely observing each rower's technique and providing real-time feedback. The oarsmen, focused and determined, work in unison, their powerful strokes propelling the boat forward. The water around them shimmers in the sunlight, adding to the serene and picturesque scene. The 1920s, also known as the Roaring Twenties, were an era of great change and progress. This photograph offers a glimpse into the world of Harvard's varsity rowing team during that time. The team's dedication and discipline are evident, as they undergo the rigorous training necessary to compete at the highest level. The Harvard Try-Out Barge is an enduring symbol of the university's proud rowing heritage, and this photograph serves as a reminder of the passion and commitment that has defined Harvard's athletic programs for generations. Whether you're an alumnus, a fan of rowing, or simply appreciate the beauty of this unique moment in time, this photograph is sure to inspire and captivate.
