University Oars is a compilation of letters of response to the
author from the participants of the Oxford and Cambridge boat
races. John Edward Morgan, himself a former university oarsman and
physician to the Manchester Royal Infirmary, spent four years
sending inquiries and compiling responses in his effort to shed
some light on an important perceived physiological problem which he
sought to investigate for the welfare of the rising generation.
Published in 1873, his responses numbered 251 out of 255 letters
sent to university oarsmen, detailing the athletes' current
physical and mental condition. Morgan's findings dispel the widely
held notion of the time that the famous test of strength and
endurance had adverse latent physiological and psychological
effects on its stalwart participants.
