...have been slow to follow. As it is, both Amherst and Harvard have refused to row against Yale's consolidated Freshman crew. That they are justified in so doing by the course Yale has pursued, no one unprejudiced can doubt. With some degree of sharpness, however, the Yale Courant notices this disagreement. "Dishonorable" and "cowardly" are strange words for gentlemen to apply to their equals; but, coming as they do from Yale lips, they are not unexpected...

...cannot be surprised at any construction that can be placed upon the loosely worded rule made at the late Boating Convention, but we confess to a hearty surprise at a bit of information in the Courant. It seems that a consolidated nine is to be picked from the Scientific and Academic Freshmen to play our Freshman nine in the match which is soon to take place. We fail to see what right Yale has to do this. All previous Freshman matches have been between the two Academic departments, and there has been no other arrangement made for this year...

...President in his Report mentions the fact that some of the Middle and Western States contain schools which prepare boys very successfully for admission here.

FROM the Yale Courant we learn that the University Nine are to have a new and gorgeous uniform. "The material is a Scotch cassimere of a light gray color, with blue trimmings. The shirt is to be open before, like a coat; the sleeves without cuffs, but trimmed with blue at the wrists. The "Y" is to be wrought in blue silk on the breast. Over this is to be worn a loose roundabout without trimmings. The belt is blue and wrought. Knee-breeches are to be discarded, and the breeches will reach to the ankles and button over...

...patrician descent, has never 'squalled' since it came into being, or showed any traces of infant depravity in attempting to scratch its big brother, has already gotten its legs and become playful. It has begun to poke sticks through the fence at its neighbors and natural playmates, the Courant and Record. Sweet infant prodigy, we warn you that it is not yet near enough to the millennium to make it at all safe for children, weaned or unweaned, to pursue their little games near the domicile of the asp." - Yale...
