...forensic should be announced. We do not see what objection there could be to doing this, and the advantages would be obvious. A student could then tell the relation of his own forensics to each other, and to those of other men.

Say what we may about our Springfield and New London victories, the fact is undisputable that Cornell remains the champion of American colleges. If we send a crew to England, they should go as representing not only the best rowing in Harvard, but the best rowing in American colleges. It is only fair, then, that we should row with the champion college crew, and, in case we are successful, with other colleges...
