About MRA "No
recreation, no method of exercise, no out-door or in-door sport,
offers less temptations and more advantages than rowing. In
truth, excellence as an oarsman is wholly inconsistent with dissipation
or excess of any nature. Regular habits, constant exercise, open-air
life, and plain food, are essential to every man who aspires to
endurance, skill, and rowing fame. There is no more certain way of
fitting the mind and heart for vigorous labor and the reception of
careful culture than by putting the body in perfect condition. Let this
work of physical culture go on until every American shall deem it as
important to educate the body as to train and improve the mind." |
