...race between Columbia and Harvard at New London yesterday the Cambridge crew administered a severe defeat to Columbia, winning the race by over twelve lengths in 24 min. 45 sec. Columbia was confident of victory, backing her crew with heavy odds. The fact that Belshaw was slightly ill on the day before the race rather encouraged Columbia, who, however, were very much sobered by the excellent time made by Harvard in a practice pull on Tuesday. The wind early in the morning was light, but just before the start it freshened up, so that the sea was very choppy, which...
...result of the Columbia race is perfectly satisfactory to Harvard. Although but little doubt was felt in Cambridge about the success of our crew, still to have our confidence justified by such a marked victory is peculiarly gratifying to Harvard. Although the charge that the Harvard crew, after defeating the Yale crew in such a fast race, was afraid to row Columba, last year, was a preposterous one, still we fear that there were many men from the New York college whose hopes so warped their judgment that they almost believed it. Such men will be relieved by the race...

The Tribune has called the attention of colleges and teachers to this increasing and fatal error. It only echoes the opinion of parents everywhere. They see, if teachers do not, that the real object of education...
...congratulate the freshmen on their victory last Saturday. We felt conddent that they could defeat Yale, and were glad to see our confidence justified. The long line of Yale's victories has been broken, and we trust that Harvard freshmen will hereafter follow the example of '86. We hope the freshmen will be equally successful in the deciding game of the series...
...even if the freshmen do not win the game they can rest assured that they are not placed in the unenviable position of the defeated Yale freshmen. What that position is, it is almost impossible for a Harvard man to understand. The Courant confesses that, in case of defeat, the existence of the freshmen throughout their college life would have been a miserable one. "As to the 'result,' had our freshmen met defeat, we can form no conception. No class now in college ever knew of such a deplorable state of affairs. Yale is the wrong place for the unsuccessful...
