...first eight of the Pi Eta from '80 are: W. H. Alley, G. Bement, A. F. Breed, W. W. Gooch, E. H. Hastings, C. H. Pew, J. D. Redding, F. M. Smith...
...altogether break up our crew, for, although we know that the only condition on which some of our men promised to row was that the crew should be sent to England, yet there are enough of the old men left to form a nucleus on which to build an eight that could without doubt win another victory for us at New London. Now that we have lost the championship in football, and the prospects in base-ball are anything but encouraging, it devolves upon the crew all the more to sustain the honor and reputation of Harvard...
...that a race may be rowed the next summer to again try the good rowing of the two universities. In '69 the trial was hardly a satisfactory one, being out of course in that but four-oared boats represented the two clubs.
