...reasons, we believe, for setting the time of meeting at an earlier date. Questions of far more than ordinary moment with reference to the future conduct of regattas will demand the attention of the convention, and its decision will greatly influence the course of action of those who are, either directly or indirectly, to be concerned in the regatta of 1875. It is particularly desirable that the choice of a regatta committee should be effected earlier than last year, that no shortcomings on their part may be attributed to a lack of time.

...Chronicle, after saying that "the majority of men who engage or take such an intense interest in them [physical contests] are either 'sporting characters' or of very doubtful scholarship," nevertheless concludes that if not rowing they will be up to something worse, and that their services will at least serve to advertise the college. It therefore urges that Michigan be represented in the next regatta, and suggests as a place of practice a lake of "nearly the same size as Fresh Pond, Harvard's place of practice."

...race on Monday, - a challenge which was refused by Captain Goodwin, of the Harvards, on the ground of the ungentlemanly conduct of the Yale crew. To the unprejudiced spectator of the race, Yale seemed no more guilty of foul play than Harvard, while the task of adjudging blame to either is rendered hopeless by the contradictory statement of the members of the two crews. It is to be regretted that Harvard refused to row, a new race, as by this way only could the difficulty have been settled and the superiority of either stroke plainly demonstrated. - Cornell...
