...full and careful consideration. It is the unanimous opinion of the graduate committee that the practice of having a professional or paid coach is inexpedient and detrimental to the best interests of rowing at Harvard, and we therefore strongly advise that this custom be discontinued now and hereafter. We hope you will give the matter due thought, and arrive at the same conclusion we have. Under the circumstances, therefore, we do not approve your employing Mr. Bancroft as coach. We are, however, as you know, simply an advisory committee, and the final decision of this question rests with the faculty...
...paid coach, the Committee does not believe that Harvard's boating interests would permanently suffer. Temporarily, it is true, the college would be at a disadvantage, but as soon as other colleges were forced to the position taken by Harvard, equality would be restored. In other words, in the hope of ultimately revolutionizing the American college system of athletics, Harvard's chances of success are to be sacrificed...
...would call the attention of the college to the conference to be held this evening between the athletic committee and those who desire football to be retained as a college sport.

However this may be, we hope the game will not eventually be given up. Our freshmen have the right in the matter, and should insist on playing on such dates as will be most convenient to them next week. If the game is not played, the entire blame can be placed on Yale...
...hope the game which the Freshmen play with Yale to-morrow will be witnessed by a very large delegation from Cambridge. The necessity of backing up their team in this all important match should be sufficient inducement for every man in '88 who cares for the success of his class in foot ball to go down to New Haven on Saturday. One last opportunity lies in the hands of '88 to retrieve the unfortunate record which Harvard has made in foot ball this fall. To the freshman eleven, the college looks for the long coveted victory over Yale...
