CORNELL, Columbia, and Yale are in a highly excited state over the prospect of our sending a crew to England. Cornell is particularly irritated, as she claims that the two races she won at Saratoga in six-oars entitle her to the "championship," and that Harvard has no right to go until she has defeated her in an eight-oared race. Yale and Columbia are equally anxious to have a race with Harvard, and let the winner of the race go to England as the "champion" college crew.

...possible all the sports. This constitution is first to be submitted to the whole Executive Committee. and then printed in the College papers, with a request that any member of the Association who sees any alterations to make will please note them in writing and send them to the Committee on the Constitution. It may be of some advantage to the gentlemen of this committee to know that the old constitution which has been so long missing has suddenly come into existence again...
