...condition on which some of our men promised to row was that the crew should be sent to England, yet there are enough of the old men left to form a nucleus on which to build an eight that could without doubt win another victory for us at New London. Now that we have lost the championship in football, and the prospects in base-ball are anything but encouraging, it devolves upon the crew all the more to sustain the honor and reputation of Harvard, and as all the arrangements for a race with Yale have been completed, it would...
...arranged between the two colleges, to come off at the same time with the "Varsity," it would rather increase than diminish the interest. But as the H. U. B. C. offered to fix the race as early as six weeks, if need be, before the race at New London, it is difficult to see how this could have an injurious effect on the eight-oared race.

On boating matters the Review says: "The latest from Harvard is that our challenge will be accepted on condition that the race be rowed at New London. Our directors will agree to this, and at once put into training a score of the best oarsmen in the University...

Say what we may about our Springfield and New London victories, the fact is undisputable that Cornell remains the champion of American colleges. If we send a crew to England, they should go as representing not only the best rowing in Harvard, but the best rowing in American colleges. It is only fair, then, that we should row with the champion college crew, and, in case we are successful, with other colleges...
