...intercollegiate boat race in which Harvard, Yale and Cornell are represented, will be rowed this afternoon at 2 o'clock over the four mile course on the Thames. Like the race of last year the outcome of today's contest is pretty generally conceded to one crew. In the opinion of most rowing experts Cornell will have no difficulty in securing the victory today. The futility of prophesying the result of a boat race has been many times proven and any certitude with regard to the race this afternoon is impossible.

...have the pleasure of welcoming Yale men to Cambridge as friendly enemies. We greet them, wish them a happy visit, and hope that Harvard men will well play their part as hosts. We can not be so inconsistent as to wish them success, but we expect a close contest, and are confident that whether the victory finally goes to Harvard or Yale it will go to unquestionably the best team...
