What is now a pleasure and a means of recreation will become a business so irksome that many who now enjoy their daily row on the river will only go to the river from a sense of duty, and a false one at that. It is not right that preparation for the class races should prevent a man from bestowing even a fair amount of work on his college duties. They are unmistakeably first in importtance...

However much we felt oppressed by the premature and hasty interference of the faculty in athletics, we have never been, and do not expect to be, harassed by any prying inquiries into our private affairs by that body. We, at Harvard, certainly enjoy more liberty in our personal affairs than any other college. This freedom is as it should be, and we are grateful for it. But the college authorities would never think of reseeding into the old policy of "paternal government" as Princeton seems to be. Why then should they do more...
