...challenge has been taken into consideration, and the probabilities are that it will be accepted. Cornell appears to be all enthusiasm to revive a college sport for which she has so many advantages, and if the race is decided on she will probably send a formidable crew. We hope that the rowing interest will be awakened among our Freshmen, and that it will call forth the good material they undoubtedly possess. At the same time they would do well to remember the answer sent by the Columbia Freshmen, and to consider that it is their first duty to insure...

We hope there will be nothing of this kind this year. Let a man decide well if he is in condition to enter the contest at all; and if he is, he should not be afraid to declare his willingness to match himself against any other man that would come under...
