...objection 4, the Crimson's statement is indorsed. Captain Bancroft was perfectly right in telling '81 that only by her rowing Cornell could the 'Varsity be kept up; there were no class races to rely upon then. He was right, again, in advising '82 to row Columbia, because he did not know how much the class races were going to amount to, as in that year they were rowed for the first time for a long while.

Thayer, Chairman of the preliminary Committee, called the meeting to order, and Mr. Seaver read the resolutions drawn up by the Committee. The nomination of Mr. G. A. Burdett for Chairman of the meeting was unanimously ratified, and also that of Mr. C. A. Coolidge as Clerk. The balloting then began for the office of Secretary, and after an informal vote, in which Mr. C. R. Sanger received a large majority, he was elected by acclamation...
