...outside race, we will show what there is against one: At Yale the inexpediency of Freshman races outside of the college is recognized, so that it is impossible for our Freshmen to row them; and if they win a race with any other college it produces little effect in the world outside of college that Harvard should have won; whereas, if Harvard Freshmen are beaten, it makes the greatest sensation, and nearly every one thinks it was the University Crew which has been beaten.

In other words, the Freshman crew needs to redouble its efforts between now and the 5th of July. As soon as their opponents learn whom they...
