...have done good work; but as you did not write the whole paper in French I was obliged to mark you low." What can be more unfair, since the length of the paper compels one, in order to finish it, to write in English? What would be the result were the same arbitrary rule applied to Greek or German? Half the men would be conditioned. This is a case, I think, that deserves investigation...
...compete; and in that case the only apparent chance of keeping the eight-oared prize on the programme would be in persuading the Freshmen of Harvard and Columbia to enter for it, in case they really agree to row their proposed race in eight-oared boats. Whatever the result of the Harvard-Yale race of June 27, I am sure that Yale men generally would be pleased to have the Harvard crew continue in training a few days longer, enter the N. A. A.

Likewise...
...that the presumption raised in favor of the Thames course by the first fortunate trial of it should be strengthened by the satisfactory experience of several successive seasons until it can harden into a fixed tradition, that I account no precaution unreasonable which has a tendency to produce that result. Hence, when a former oarsman urged in one of the college journals that Yale ought to refrain from sending a crew to New London to meet that of Harvard, unless the latter would agree to discountenance the presence of all other crews upon the course during the five days which...
