...that in case of a certain athletic event I should want to leave the banks of the river on which it should happen; but like the statesman of Massachusetts I have changed my mind. I shall stay by this river until Yale is Victorians, even if I remain a thousand and one years to come-and I fear that if Yale does not change that unfortunate stroke I shall be waiting here until the odd year arrives." After expressing the hope that the Harvard men would not paint the whole town red, the governor retired amid the cheers...

I therefore ask the HERALD to be kind enough to receive cash subscriptions for the crew...
Between six and seven thousand dollars more will be required to give us the grounds we need. The recent success of our athletics at the Polo grounds should induce every Harvard man, whether graduate or undergraduate, to do his best to provide suitable grounds for the association. It is but seldom that the Athletic Association calls for assistance, and this should be an additional reason for giving the assistance when it is needed. We hope that every one who has subscribed will pay his subscription as soon as possible, and that the committee will meet with no difficulty in getting...
