...substituting knickerbockers and crimson stockings for long trousers. Some objection was made to discarding a uniform so long worn by the Nine, but the greater convenience of the stockings was considered a sufficient reason for making the change. The original gray cloth with trimmings of the College color will still be used...
...Still, it may be added, Harvard is forgetting her duty and obligations as the founder of the Association; she who invited two or three neighboring colleges to row at Springfield cannot honorably leave the Association, even when it has trebled in numbers, and when the course is no longer in New England. That is to say, a few gentlemen of the class of '71 have bound Harvard irretrievably for an indefinite time to come, or at least until chance shall give the victory to some crew as good as those she has sent for the last two years, since...
...first number of this volume of the Crimson we expressed the opinion that Harvard could not honorably withdraw from the Rowing Association of American Colleges. We still think that at the time we had no cause to justify our leaving the Association, but the action of the convention which met at Springfield last week leaves us to choose now between two disagreeable alternatives.

What makes the matter still more remarkable is, that Mr. Brantingham was an American citizen. The Journal well points out the absurdity of the case; for "the wearing of a boating coat or cap, the use of dishes or jugs stamped with the college crest," would bring the user within the scope of this Act of Parliament.

The Courant deplores the recent Harvard-Yale, unpleasantness, informs us that they are our friends still, and then rather illogically requests us to "cheer up"! According to the Courant's table, in this fall's athletics, Yale made the best time in four "events," Williams and Pennsylvania University in three, Harvard in two, Tufts in one, while Dartmouth, Wesleyan...
