...five-year foot ball arrangement with Harvard. On questions that touch so nearly as this does the whole athletic interest of the University it has always been customary for the University to decide, and the manner in which the present agreement was made is, we think, a grave infraction of the powers delegated to our representatives, and a precedent too dangerous to be allowed to pass without comment...

We said further that the Harvard athletic authorities were altogether ignorant of this alleged assurance until after the receipt of Yale's letter of May 9th, declining our invitation to play a series of four games, and that the arrangements with Yale and Princeton were cancelled in the belief...
