Although the prejudices acquired in nearly four years at Yale have rather incapacitated us for looking with unalloyed delight on the aquatic victories of Harvard, yet in the present instance we confess that we would be more than pleased to see her second eight victorious over the crew which so confidently appealed to the public opinion to award it the championship because no college found it convenient to gratify...

The college has already expressed its pride in its victorious crew, and will undoubtedly take occasion to still further express its delight in the performance in the near future. The victory practically gives Harvard the precedence over Yale in athletic sports for the year to come. So crushing a defeat can hardly be retrieved in less time, even by so great a college as that at New Haven. The crew that...
