...starting of picked-up crews. The committee will do everything in their power to make the races agreeable both to spectators and contestants, but they can do very little unless the men themselves will take the slight trouble of registering, at least the day before. If this is done, we may at last see some races which are not tiresome. There are three new features this year; a single-scull race for men who have not rowed for the college championship; a handicap of six seconds or less in the Senior scullers' race; and a race for Freshmen in sixes...
...editorials in full, if they did not contain a most undignified personal attack, written probably without sufficient thought, and which it would do the Courant injustice to repeat. There are two editorials on the subject, probably written by different editors in different degrees of indignation. The first would have done very well by itself.

As this was done in the leading editorial, it is presumable that it was not sarcasm, but sober earnest. It would seem, however, that such a proceeding would be as distasteful to the Columbia crew, as it would be ridiculous to the world at large...
