...ninety. There are, of course objections to the re-admittance of the Yale freshman crew to the annual contest with Columbia, but there are many reasons also why our freshmen should concur with the decision reached by Columbia. Whatever be the result of the deliberations of Monday night, that judgment must have good solid reasons behind it and must not be the outcome of prejudice or hasty and careless discussion.

This time he offers us a short piece which does credit neither to his power of versification, nor to his judgment in selecting such an extract for translation.
