...opening of the spring term at Ithaca, to hold a meeting, and decide on our challenge for a University race; and the reply, which we regret to say is in the negative, is printed in this issue. Our challenge, which the Ithaca newspapers considered as highly impertinent, was understood in its right spirit by the members of the Cornell Navy, and it is only the peculiar conditions laid down in our letter, and the previous arrangements of the Cornell crew, that prevent them from rowing a race which would be of advantage to both colleges.

Now if, for example, when any one talks ridiculously about getting drunk, or shamefully about buying fraudulent examination-papers, the hearers were to let it be understood that they considered such talk as the former silly, and the latter disgraceful, they would ultimately prevent much of the indecent talk now so familiar. We cannot expect to put an end to vicious practices themselves by keeping the fact prominently in view that they are held unworthy of gentlemen...
