...following appeal for a combination Harvard-Yale-Columbia race each spring: "In one of our last year's issues we seriously mooted the advisability of merging the Harvard-Columbia and Yale-Harvard boat-races into one grand combination of Harvard-Yale-Columbia. In the issue to which we refer, we further suggested that the representative papers of the respective Colleges ventilate their opinions upon the advisability of such a measure.
