Old Oarsmen

The Harvard crew of 1883 which beat Vale three years in a row, last week clambered into a shell and rowed two miles up the Charles River at Harvard's commencement. Of the nine, all 70 or over but still spry, four were in Who's Who. They were Stroke Joseph Lee. now a social worker. Russell Sturgis Codman, hotelman and Harvard trustee, Henry Barton Jacobs, Baltimore doctor, Charles Pelham Curtis, Winchester, Mass., lawyer. The other five, prosperous respectable citizens who probably deserve to be in Who's Who also, were William Hussey Page, Manhattan lawyer and onetime president of the New York Athletic Club; Horace Binney, retired surgeon-in-chief of the Boston City Hospital; Charles Page Perin (captain), Manhattan consulting engineer. Dr. Sumner Coolidge of Middleboro, Mass., and little Coxswain Sabin Pond Sanger, retired banker of Brookline. Mass. They disembarked at the Metropolitan Racing Club, brashly promised to row up the Charles again in 1943.
