...meeting of the University Crew, held after the race, Mr. W. A. Bancroft was re-elected Captain for the ensuing year...
COLUMBIA has sent us another challenge for an eight-oared race. The time and place are left to our decision, as before. Last year our crew were able to do better in their race with Yale from having previously rowed with Columbia. Moreover, to pull in a single race is a small object for men to look forward to during a year's hard training; and so the more races a crew can row, the more pleasure there is for them individually.
