...cannot see that this statement at all alters the status of the question. We still believe this address by the graduates unjust, and, to use a harsher expression, officious. The students of Harvard have placed full credence in the word of honor of their crew and coach. We hope and believe they will still continue this confidence in them. At least until new facts in the case are adduced, an event which does not not now seem probable, they are likely to do so. The HERALD feels that no good can come from any further discussion of this question. Every...
...convinced, due consideration of both sides of the question, choose to impute to the Harvard crew dishonorable motives and actions. This proceeding is, in our opinion, thoroughly unjust, inconsiderate and ill-advised.

We will not say that Harvard might not at first have made concessions...

Myers a series of races at half a mile, three-quarters of a mile and one mile, W. G. George, the +++ English +++, has sent word by cable that he accepts and will shortly leave for New York...
