The Yale committee writes a formal letter offering to row under certain conditions, which will give the Yale crew every advantage. Thus, Yale will demand that if her crew arrives at the winning stake on the same day with the Harvards, the victory shall be adjudged to Yale; that the Harvard crew shall consist exclusively of cripples, and shall...
