...questions as to weight, physical condition, strength, in fact any thing that refers directly or indirectly to the crew, their rowing and their boat, are regarded as impertinent at Yale, and are never answered. Consequently the members of the crew appear to their college mates as something above the ordinary run of mortals, who possess untold mysteries and secrets that are invaluable. As far as getting any information whatever about the crew is concerned, one might as well be a Harvard as a Yale man. A ridiculous air of mystery and secrecy, which is only equalled by that which surrounds...
...easy, of course, to find objections to the present plan, but no plan could be devised that would be satisfactory in all points. The only thing to be done is to give the new plan a fair trial.

Harvard's position at present can be stated in a few words. She objects to professionalism and wishes to have it excluded from our athletics. She is willing to make a sacrifice as long as she sees any thing can be gained by it. If Harvard in her endeavors were supported by Princeton and Yale, she would undoubtedly succeed. Even if Princeton alone supported her, public opinion would soon force Yale to give up her opposition. As long, therefore, as Princeton keeps to her purpose of not allowing the nine to play with professionals, Harvard should do the same...
