...very remarkable letter was read. We were not present at that meeting; but had we been present, we could hardly have refrained from giving utterance to thoughts similar to those that were suggested to us on reading the letter in this morning's paper. Allow us, therefore, to say a few words through the columns of the CRIMSON...
Such an invitation as has been given by the Young Men's Republican and Independent Club, (it would be more accurately named Y. M. Democratic C.) is certainly a most preposterous one.

Of freshmen it is needless to say, no skill in rowing is required; indeed, the less skill the better. Therefore no one can refuse to enter from want of ability. The men will be chosen by lot, so that every one has an equal chance of winning a cup and fame. The prizes given will be pewter cups...
