...time we advanced the opinion that the conduct of the Harvard crew in withdrawing from the Columbia race could not well be justified by the college at large. We formed our opinion at the time on the ground of the decision of Mr. Watson, the referee, and the various statements made at the time of the race. Since then the Harvard crew and its representatives have presented a statement of the matter from their standpoint, containing an explanation of their conduct in leaving New London before the time set for the race.

In consequence, they have been expected to do a far larger amount...
