...Intercollegiate Rowing Association has finally determined to abandon the course at New London in favor of one on the Hudson, and during the past few days its regatta committee have been examining suitable courses. The choice lies between a course at Newburg and one at Poughkeepsie.

Whether or not this is the only way to get sufficient funds remains to be seen; but the one principle at stake-which, in this instance, the H. A. A. has seemed to abandon-is the ultimate broadening of our college athletics. This object the rule in question seems, to us, closely to restrict. The college may possibly think otherwise. If they deem it emphatically good, then let the H. A. A. strictly enforce it; if they think it bad and unworthy...
