...days of reviling in the Cornell paper seem to have passed away with the days of rowing; but now, at the first symptom of a revival of the latter, the former awakes in full strength. We are not criticising here the action of the University Boat-Club in challenging Cornell, but simply the Era's manner of receiving the challenge. Cornell has not yet recovered from the evil effects of the management of her papers during the last years of the Intercollegiate races at Saratoga, and now seems to be relapsing.

The independent man would be a fool if he felt no respect for the esteem of the former, or contempt for that of the latter. Ossip, finally, is wrong when he says that we "merely" say "popularity is the result of insincerity." Our words were : "Popularity may result legitimately from truthfulness, or illegitimately from insincerity." But let us not among these subordinate blunders forget the vital question...
