“In crew, contempt is important. In Boston, Boston University and Northeastern crew are treated with contempt by the college up the river. Intramural crew is treated with contempt. Nonathletic coxswains (Chinese engineering majors, poets) are treated with contempt. A true coxswain is a diminutive jock, raging against the pint size that made him the butt of so many jokes at Prep school. He runs twenty stadiums a day, his girlfriend is six feet one, and he can scream orders even when he has the flu (which he catches at least three times a winter).” HumorCrewBostonHarvardAthleticsRowingElitismSnobberyPreppyPrep Book:The official preppy handbook Source: The official preppy handbook

“Prep clothes are sensible: rain clothes keep you dry; winter clothes keep you warm; collars are buttoned down so they don't flap in your face when you're playing polo. Layering is a natural response to varying weather conditions.” StyleClothesFunctionPracticalityClothingPreppyPrepIvy StyleOcbd Book:The official preppy handbook Source: The official preppy handbook
“The Head of the Charles in Cambridge, Mass., is the great American crew event, athletically and socially. It occurs the second weekend in October; secondary schools and colleges send shells in all categories in the three-mile race up the Charles River. Drunken Preps line the banks and bridges at Harvard, ready to howl with glee as a coxswain rams his shell into a stanchion of the Eliot Street Bridge (where the river narrows and curves with treacherous suddenness).” CrewHarvardRowingPreppyPrepCharles RiverHead Of The CharlesRegatta Book:The official preppy handbook Source: The official preppy handbook
