...been taken by Yale. Harvard has long enough dictated to Yale as to her every line of action in contests between the two colleges, and Yale has in almost every instance bowed down to the wishes of her rival and consented to submit to her dictation. Harvard's last letter, as the Record aptly expressed it, reduces down to the statement that she is willing to do anything fair and square provided that Yale does just what she wants.

And, finally, he casts a most unwarranted slur on the character of a gentleman to whom Harvard boating owes more than Harvard can ever hope to repay; but this is quite in keeping with the character of the whole communication. I cannot close this letter without once more making a protest against the conduct of certain graduates, who, while taking an interest in the welfare of the college, for which we have, indeed, every reason to be grateful, will take no trouble to inquire into the merits or demerits of any dispute in which Harvard...
