...indeed to be regretted that the words of Captain Strong to the University crew squad upon the importance of defeating the Cornell crew next spring should be so completely twisted and misconstrued by certain daily papers as to allow the spreading of a report which casts a shadow of doubt upon the supreme importance which Harvard attaches to the final contest of each rowing season with Yale on the Thames. In rowing as in all the other major and minor sports Yale has been, and will continue to be the rival that we are most keenly anxious to meet...
...excuse for publishing the verse. For in point of fact it is not accurate. Its implications, as far as they can be translated into English, are nothing more nor less than slanders. Take for example the first two lines of the second stanza. Powerful beyond a doubt, they yet convey a totally false impression.

What was not mystical was very real; there was too little consonance between the mystic and plain hard articles and the real red-blooded students there at once on the stage...
