...dishonorable conduct; that a misunderstanding existed, and for this misunderstanding they were not to blame. Certain graduates of Harvard without, as we are convinced, due consideration of both sides of the question, choose to impute to the Harvard crew dishonorable motives and actions.

His reputation in all his dealings with and for Harvard has always been fair and upright; and without further proof Harvard will...
