The expenses of boating at Harvard and Yale would undoubtedly be lowered, and our Catalonian triumvirate would have purified athletics, and restored their pristine simplicity and cheapness. The results of giving up our regular coach may not be as disastrous to our boating prospects as an order to row in a barge; but when four mile...
