...reported upon very good authority that several of the best riders in college refuse to enter the Tech. road race next Saturday. We wish to protest most emphatically against such a decision on their part. After accepting Tech's, challenge Harvard is bound to make every effort towin the race. The contest is not between individuals nor between clubs but is in reality an intercollegiate event.

For two years Harvard has lost the race, and we look therefore to Ninety-two to redeem the low reputation which the freshman crews of the past have seemed to deserve. To achieve this, every effort should be put forth. Whatever step is taken, if it is done wisely and with consideration, the captain may be assured of the support both of his class and of the rest of the University...
