ALTHOUGH the question of Harvard's withdrawing from the Rowing Association of American Colleges was presumably settled at the last general meeting of the H. U. B. C., yet as there is quite a large party in College who, not knowing their own strength, did not oppose the adoption of the resolution to remain in the Association, but who are extremely anxious to have the resolution rescinded, and who have come to doubt the numerical strength of their opponents, it seems but just that some statement of the reasons for their desire to withdraw should be made public...

If this work is to be undertaken by a class in college, there is no one better able to take the initiatory steps, nor one by which it could be better done, than by the class...
