EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: Permit me to correct a slight misunderstanding of my communication of Friday. Your correspondent of Saturday, while eminently fair in his comments; seems to think that I base my objections to the Thames course as a course for three boats. Upon Yale's experience of last year I intended merely to cite this as an example of what at any time might be repeated. The ground for my belief in the unsuitability of the Thames course for three boats, is the statement to that effect that I heard last year from many skilled oarsmen. The CRIMSON acknowledges...
...exception to a custom of long standing; this year we would no longer make an exception, but go very far towards establishing a new practice. Yale's being admitted this year, means, practically, admittance every year. If we permit Yale to enter this race, the time does not seem to be very far distant when the University of Pennsylvania, Cornell and others, will also partake in it; thus in place of the time-honored Harvard-Columbia boat-race, substituting an inter collegiate regatta, such as was held at Saratoga in '74, '75 and '76.

On the basis of the bare figures alone, the Germans are better off; the advantage of cheaper living and different social requirements is clear gain. The grevious side of the German university cereer is the period of probation; the Privatdocent butters his bread with hopes...
...precedent, that it is now regarded by the graduating class almost as a right. There are, however, several men in the college buildings who are unwilling to conform to this custom. Such a man it has been my misfortune to meet. Of course the retention of a room may seem a small matter to him, but to myself it is far different. Indeed my whole spread depends upon the use of that one room; without it I shall not have sufficient space to carry out my programme; with it everything will pass off well. However much right the gentleman...
