SEVERAL letters have appeared of late in the Spirit of the Times written by a Cornell correspondent, which are full of the most unwarranted attacks on Yale and Harvard. It would, perhaps, be better to treat his remarks with the silent contempt they deserve, but we feel that it is of the utmost importance to preserve kindly feeling between the two colleges, and therefore we cannot let it pass unnoticed. That this gentleman expresses the opinions of his college in the matter we do not believe, and yet it is singular that he should have been allowed...
...feel sure that our efforts to establish an "American Henley" will meet with general appreciation, and we solicit, and shall doubtless receive, the hearty aid and encouragement of the Harvard University Boat Club. We do not ask for any pecuniary assistance (none of the expenses of the Regatta are to be borne by the colleges), but we desire your advice and approval.... You may not desire to change your eight-oared contest with Yale College, but why should not the proposed races between your crew and Cornell or Columbia be rowed under our auspices, at a regatta open only...
...swallowing utter nonsense and twaddle of the rankest description. It is all very well for Cornell and Columbia to accuse Yale and Harvard of cowardice, and if it affords them innocent amusement, it assuredly has no effect upon us.

With Columbia, Cornell, and other colleges we have no quarrel, and the losing or winning of a race with...
...election that recent years have shown, seemed almost impossible, and yet it is true. Those croakers who declared that Class Day produced more discord than pleasure, and advocated its abolition, are completely silenced; and all friends of that time-honored institution can quietly rejoice. Especially should the under classes feel glad that they have such a precedent to follow, and that, instead of the usual troubled season of caucuses and partisan tickets, they can hope for a calm selection of fitting men for the various offices. Before this it was thought incredible that sectional prejudice should not have stronger influence...
...seats for themselves, but will aid as much as possible in placing tickets among their friends. The tickets, we believe, will be ready in a day or two, and may be obtained of any of the gentlemen connected with the theatricals. We wish all success to the undertaking, and feel that we may confidently say, that if success is wanting, it will be more from lack of encouragement on the part of the students than from lack of discipline on the part of the performers...
