...support our assertion in Saturday's issue that Columbia held the same opinion of Pennsylvania's action as the HERALD CRIMSON we print the following extracts from the editorial column of the latest Acta Columbiana. "The University of Pennsylvania has evibecome tired of such unsatisfactory victories as those she has won in the past few years over Princeton, and now longs for greater glory. To say the least, the university has taken a strange way of winning renown. And yet when we consider that it is the U. of Penn. that has invented this new way of becoming champion oarsmen...
