...crew pledged to row, we call on every man to lay aside personal prejudice and to support the crew to the best of his ability. Many men are probably not satisfied that Harvard has made due reparation in sending a challenge without an accompanying apology. They therefore deem it unworthy of our dignity to row the Cambridge crew, and are loath to countenance the race by their support. For the benefit of these we shall attempt to explain matters. Columbia holds one view of the late difficulty, Harvard another. We hold that the Harvard crew and the boat club...
...settle all details of the race before any definitive agreement is entered into, the Yale Record is still very much concerned about the matter, and seems to view "Harvard's motive in this matter as utterly incomprehensible." For the benefit, therefore, of the Record and the Yale crew, which deem it "extremely discouraging to begin active training while in a state of uncertainty as to whether a race is to be rowed or not," we would once again state that there is no doubt whatever about Harvard's accepting Yale's challenge.

While recognizing the fact that such a man will be very hard to get, and that until he is got Harvard's athletes will be at a great disadvantage at the "intercollegiate athletics games," the committee yet deem it their duty to obtain such a man as a measure which will raise the standard of athletics in the college and in the end prove most advantageous to the success of Harvard athletes. Until such a man is appointed, Dr. Sargent is to take care that no man injures himself in any way by exercise. Under his charge, too, men will...
