...letter was received last Friday from the University of Pennsylvania freshmen, challenging the Yale freshmen to a two-mile straightway, eight-oared race at New London. At a meeting of the Yale freshmen Monday night it was voted to accept the challenge. The race will probably be rowed the same day as the Harvard-Yale University race.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: Well-timed and careful as was your editorial of Friday morning on the freshman race with Yale, you seem to do the class some little injustice. If I understand rightly the article, one may infer that the whole freshman class is opposed to any new consideration of the race, while the rest of the college is urgent for such reconsideration.
