...those she has sent for the last two years, since she can hardly expect to send better ones than these. "And, after all, it is strange that Harvard should wish to row again with Yale alone, against whom she has made so many charges of foul play and ungentlemanly conduct"; and this argument under other circumstances would really have some weight, but at present it is useless. It is expected that Princeton's captain, who wishes to withdraw, will succeed in persuading his college to join Harvard, and it is possible that there may be one other college, Columbia...

The old policy of engaging papers before the subscriptions were paid has been abandoned, and the room was not opened till a sum had been subscribed sufficiently large to insure the payment of this year's bills.
