...large and orderly crowd." Drunkenness and reckless betting will add not a whit to the pleasure to be derived from the race, while dishonor will certainly come to our college (which has enough to stand in that line already) from such a course. We have a good and steady crew, anxious for victory and faithful to their training; a captain in whom the whole University and its friends have the utmost confidence. Let every man be present who can, and if he witnesses another defeat of Harvard, we know that will not be the fault of her crew...

It is admitted that the Freshman race will be under the control of the Regatta Committee; it is also true that in general the officers of the U. B.

When such is the state of affairs we were surprised, not long since, to learn that Yale proposed to enter at this summer's races a consolidated Freshman crew, both "Academics" and "Scientifics." No notice was given to either Amherst or Harvard Freshmen, the only two other entries; much less did they ask it as a favor. In the latter case, we have no doubt Harvard would have yielded without a murmur, while Amherst would not have been slow to follow. As it is, both Amherst and Harvard have refused to row against Yale's consolidated Freshman crew. That they...
