It was mentioned in our last that George Washington was an instance of a rowing man who became distinguished in after life. This mistake arose from the fact that a Mr George graduated in 1741, and a Mr. Washington graduated in 1763. Neither of these men were on the crew, but from the resemblance of other men to some men, and each to one another, the mistake was unavoidable.
