Representatives of Columbia, Cornell, and the University of Pennsylvania have signed an agreement to row an eight-oared three-mile race in June at New London. This will be Cornell's first attempt at training an eight-oared crew although her four has frequently met the University of Pennsylvania in the annual contest for the Childs Cup. Pennsylvania has rowed at New London before, with representatives of Yale. The suggestion of an annual three-cornered race came from Columbia, on learning of Cornell's intention to put an eight-oared crew on the water; and at Columbia's invitation...
...agreement signed between Cornell, Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania to row a three-cornered race next June at New London will, no doubt, in the minds of the inconsiderate, bring some odium on those who have advised our freshmen to decline Yale's challenge, on the ground that the Thames course is not suitable for a three-cornered race. A little consideration, however, will explain away this apparent contradiction. The race just agreed upon, being the first of its kind, has yet to demonstrate its own feasibility.

This $1000 was paid over to the committee with the request that it be given to the boat club. The committee decided to give it to the boat club, as requested, but they attached the condition that the boat club with this help should be out of debt...
...that therefore the Harvard-Yale game must take place in New York. As Harvard cannot play in New York, Yale will have victory without a struggle. The constitution of the association is the only safeguard of the Yale management; its technical declared void, common justice, not to mention the agreement of Messrs Gill and Beecher last year, would leave but one course open to Yale. But with the constitution to back her, she can with some show of right, take the stand she has. Whatever the outcome of the struggle may be, Harvard will have learned one lesson at least...
