DEAR SIR:- I have examined the evidence submitted by Princeton. In answer I say without reservation that I never made any such statements as are there ascribed to me, to members of the Andover team or to any persons at any time. I have never made any offer of pecuniary aid to any person, to become or to remain a member of the Harvard team, and such offers have not to my knowledge been made by any member of the Harvard Football Association.

There are, I think, but two just criticisms of their position. It may be said that the charges against Princeton are not proved. The answer is that where there is so much smoke there must be some fire. Moreover, Harvard's position does not rest on the truth of the charges; Harvard simply washes her hand of those whose honesty is even questioned. The second criticism is that it would have been much better to have waited until the Princeton match and victory were old and the undergraduates' blood had had a chance to cool. I have already said that...
