YOUR last issue contained a letter signed "'81," the object of which was to promulgate the existence of a Freshman Glee Club. As a Freshman myself I may say that, while the idea embodied in the correspondence is one that should meet generally with favor, yet the manner in which that idea was set forth is exceedingly distasteful to a large number of Freshmen.

COLUMBIA, disappointed in her hopes of a race with Harvard, has pluckily decided to send a four to England to meet the best amateur crews of Great Britain at the Henley Regatta in June. Messrs.

It is true that Yale defeated Harvard, Princeton, and Columbia last year; but this fall their team has not won a match from any of these colleges; hence...
...when the reasons are known which caused Harvard to decline it (the conditions which Columbia felt that the acceptance of her challenge for last year had given her strength to insist upon), the action of the Executive Committee in settling the matter as they have will, we think, meet general approval...
