Newell Boathouse, named for a popular Harvard athlete killed just a few years after graduation, is the primary boathouse used by Harvard University's varsity men's rowing teams.[1] It stands on land subject to an unusual peppercorn lease agreement between Harvard and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.[2][3]
