...think that they may possibly be able to defeat the Oxford and Cambridge crews. Anyhow, we propose to make the trial, without reference to Cornell, Columbia, or any one else, and if these colleges don't like it they must (as the boys say) "lump it." Our annual race with Yale will of course be rowed, and probably always will be, until the end of time; but with Cornell and Columbia we "have no quarrel"; it would be no pleasure to us to beat them or have them beat us, and if we do row either, it should be regarded...

Considerable uncertainty was manifested as to what was really said and done at that dinner, but the Secretary's report gave a tolerably clear idea of the transactions.

It is only fair, then, that we should row with the champion college crew, and, in case we are successful, with other colleges that are willing to race in eights. On the other hand, it is neither fair nor reasonable that we should travel all over the Western and Middle States for the sake of meeting a rival. New London is the place for these races, not Owasco Lake nor Harlem River. If Columbia and Cornell are determined...
