...favored a system of open scholarships. Since we received this third article a long letter from Mr. T. W. Higginson has appeared in the New York Nation, in which he takes the same ground. The arguments have been well stated, and it only remains for us to express our agreement with the views of these writers. They have certainly supported the side of the case which is taken by the great majority of undergraduates; in fact, we have not yet met a single one who entirely defended the present system. We are glad to notice that Mr. Higginson has called...
...think it right, however, to state clearly our opinion on the subject of the challenge. There is a tacit agreement between Harvard and Yale that they shall row an eight-oared race every year; of course, until the preliminaries of this race are arranged, no other challenge which might interfere with it can possibly be sent.

By this agreement candidates for the degrees A. B., B. S., Ph. B., LL. B., B. D., M. D., Ph. D., and A. M., are eligible to the crew; but candidates for the five lastnamed degrees must previously have taken the degree...
...statements in the last Advocate about the race with Columbia were incorrect. Columbia's challenge has not been accepted, and no agreement has yet been made as to what men shall be eligible for the crews...
