...resolution was passed to authorize Mr. Roberts to inform the Columbia Boat Club that we desire to enter into relations with that college in view of an eight-oared regatta, to take place about the time of the Yale race...
...States for the sake of meeting a rival. New London is the place for these races, not Owasco Lake nor Harlem River. If Columbia and Cornell are determined to row over their favorite courses, the College will certainly decline accepting such conditions, which would seriously interfere with the Putney regatta. It is too early to prophesy what our crew will accomplish, but they ought to do good work, backed up as they are by the moral and material assistance of graduates and undergraduates...

As this was done in the leading editorial, it is presumable that it was not sarcasm, but sober earnest.
