UNIVERSITY PRESENTED WITH NEW CEDAR POCOCK CREW SHELL
R. F. Herrick '90, Captain and Stroke of 1889 Crew, Is Donor
A new crew shell was received yesterday by the University as a present from R. F. Herrick '90. It was made by Pocock the famous boat builder who has supplied shells for the victorious Washington State eights for a number of years past.
Being built of red cedar which absorbs practically no water it is one of the best crafts built. It arrived yesterday at the University Boat House by express.
R. F. Herrick, captained and stroked the University crew in 1889. Rowing against Yale at New London, however, his crew was beaten by a superior Ell eight.
After his graduation he took up law which he has been practicing ever since and has served as overseer of Harvard University. His gift of this shell is representative of the constant interest he has shown in Harvard rowing.
