| Summary | "The Eight-Oared Victors: A Story of College Water Sports" by Lester Chadwick is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers on the collegiate setting of Randall College, where a group of friends enthusiastically prepares to launch a rowing program with the opportunity to compete against other local colleges. The group, known as the "Inseparables," is made up of Tom Parsons, Frank Simpson, Phil Clinton, and Sid Henderson, who are determined to excel in their new venture on the water. At the start of the novel, the narrative introduces the four friends as they discuss the seemingly endless rain and their contrasting moods. The arrival of Frank with exciting news about the prospect of starting a rowing association at their college lifts their spirits. They learn about a generous donation from alumni to establish a rowing program, but they must commit to training hard in order to become champions. The initial chapter sets the stage for their journey, highlighting their camaraderie and the challenges they face as they strive to develop a rowing crew capable of competing against rival colleges. Additionally, the opening hints at a subplot involving missing trophies, which adds a layer of intrigue to the narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
