EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in 1912 by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain's news service, we find ourselves transported to a moment in time when the world was on the cusp of great change. The Cornell University crew team is captured here as they glide effortlessly across the Hudson River, their oars dipping into the water with precision and skill. In the background, the iconic Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge stands tall, its steel beams stretching out like giant's fingers towards us. This image not only showcases a moment of athletic triumph but also serves as a window into a bygone era when rowing was an esteemed sport and Cornell University was just beginning to make its mark on the world. The photograph is imbued with a sense of nostalgia, evoking memories of simpler times when life moved at a slower pace. The crew's determined faces, their muscles rippling beneath their skin as they pull together in perfect synchrony, speak to the bonds that form between teammates and the pursuit of excellence. This image from Bain News Service is not only a testament to the enduring power of rowing but also serves as a poignant reminder of our shared heritage. It invites us to step into its frame, if only for an instant, and experience the thrill of competition, camaraderie, and adventure that defined this moment in time.
