...proposition of "Bob" Cook that Yale, who is now at the top of the heap in boating matters, should go over to England this coming summer and row the winner in the Oxford-Cambridge race, might, if it was followed up earnestly, result advantageously to college boating in England and the United States. Any half-way attempt as, in case of our defeat, the sending of Yale across the Atlantic to row for this one season without any prospect of a renewal of the contest in after years, whould probably be profitless.

Cook and Moore, however, failed to return, and in them the team lose...
