...such a scene as this, hazing, with all its attendant horrors, dwindles into insignificance, We venture to assert that nowhere in America has such a brutal and disgraceful performance ever taken place at any of our colleges. The tu-quoque argument will not relieve Americans from any of the blame for the evils of hazing, but it certainly can tend to reduce the magnitude of our offences in the eyes of a stern and unsympathizing public to listen to such accounts as this of the rowdyism of English and Scotch students. Pelting professors with peas and rushing them through...
...Yale team, although it does not seem so formidable, judging by its defeats at the hands of the Princeton men, appears. This is the team which our men have drawn for the match at New York, and it is inexcusable if they do not easily beat them. But much blame must be with the college at large, in either case, and we must say it has no claim to any credit in case of victory.

This statement has already been published in the New York papers...
...crew. The students of Harvard have read the statements of Columbia and of their own crew; from these they are satisfied that without question the Harvard crew can not be justly accused of dishonorable conduct; that a misunderstanding existed, and for this misunderstanding they were not to blame. Certain graduates of Harvard without, as we are convinced, due consideration of both sides of the question, choose to impute to the Harvard crew dishonorable motives and actions. This proceeding is, in our opinion, thoroughly unjust, inconsiderate and ill-advised. Furthermore, it is an insult and affront to the students of Harvard...
