...relish the idea of measuring oars with us, in her challenge to a game of football, condescended to recognize Cornell in the athletic field. For the same reason that she is unwilling to row in the intercollegiate regattas, we profess, for the present, at least, a decided unwillingness to accept her challenge. Next fall perhaps will find us in a position to accept a challenge from Harvard, or any other college...

Our own wish would be that the literary exercises...
