The Log of Rowing, Volume II
The University of California, Berkeley, 1988 - 2018
“From its modest start as the University of California Boat Club, the first sporting organization formed at the University, Cal Crew has evolved and expanded into one of the best collegiate rowing programs in the world. The program today has far outstretched its original purpose of ‘pleasure and exercise’ and is now known for its international success and its positive impact on generations of young men. Jim Lemmon’s original Log of Rowing did a masterful job of recording the first hundred years of the program and paid tribute to the coaches and rowers that helped shape the crew into what it was at the end of the 20th century. The storied past of coaches Garnett, Wallis, Ebright, and Lemmon, now shift to Zembsch, Gladstone, and Teti, while the success of the Olympic and IRA Champion crews of decades past set the stage for the resurgence of the team in the late-90s and through the early 2000s.”

The Log of Rowing, Volume I
The University of California, Berkeley, 1870 - 1987
“This modest history of rowing at the University of California, Berkeley, is dedicated to the hundreds of crewmen who did not make the varsity boat and earn their Big C. They rowed the same endless miles, had the same sore tails, and raised the same crops of blisters; they missed out, however, on the accolades and glory achieved by their more physically blessed brethren. As a coach, I know only too well that without them to provide the necessary competition to push their varsities to the limit and beyond, those California victories never would have been recorded.”
