...certain Harvard alumni, is to us inexplicable and astounding. The only conjecture that can be made to explain its appearance and its import is that its framers and signers are ignorant of or have utterly ignored the statements recently advanced by the Harvard Boat Club, in explanation of the conduct of the 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...
...time we advanced the opinion that the conduct of the Harvard crew in withdrawing from the Columbia race could not well be justified by the college at large. We formed our opinion at the time on the ground of the decision of Mr. Watson, the referee, and the various statements made at the time of the race. Since then the Harvard crew and its representatives have presented a statement of the matter from their standpoint, containing an explanation of their conduct in leaving New London before the time set for the race.

That the matter may rest where it is without further criminations or recriminations on either side is our earnest hope...
Whatever one's final opinion may be on the matter of Harvard's difficulty with Columbia, there is no one at Harvard, we feel assured, but will resent the slurs cast upon the name of Col. Bancroft for his conduct in the matter by the Columbia papers. Mr. Bancroft has long sustained an honorable connection with the college, both formerly as a student and captain of the University Eight, and latterly as coach of the same crew. His reputation in all his dealings with and for Harvard has always been fair and upright; and without further proof Harvard will...
...surprised, remembering as we did the ways in which Harvard had attempted (and had too well succeeded) in having her say as regards the contests with us; and we were pleased when we heard that one of her own men had vigorously put a veto upon such conduct. To make their small treatment of their victors all the smaller, their snub all the more snubbish, they ended up their meeting by tabling a motion not to row Columbia again. Columbia cannot let such noble condescension pass without due gratitude. If the outgrowth of the whole should...
