...question, choose to impute to the Harvard crew dishonorable motives and actions. This proceeding is, in our opinion, thoroughly unjust, inconsiderate and ill-advised. Furthermore, it is an insult and affront to the students of Harvard who, relying upon the words and statements of their crew, as gentlemen of honor, are thus publicly rebuked. Columbia, it is possible, will place more reliance upon the word of honor of the Harvard crew than have certain graduates of Harvard itself. If not, it is certainly best that for the future all races between Harvard and Columbia be given...
...opening of the college year that they will abstain from all practices which are annoying to freshmen. Such a pledge, if wisely presented, would, without reluctance, be signed by every member of the sophomore and freshman classes. The college man has a keen and high regard for his honor, and his honor would forbid the breaking of his pledge.

Vanderbilt," the students under them to be nominated respectively by the gentleman in honor of whom they are named...
...Harvard crew and its representatives have presented a statement of the matter from their standpoint, containing an explanation of their conduct in leaving New London before the time set for the race. This explanation, it seems to us, is perfectly satisfactory on the point raised as to the honor of the conduct of Harvard's crew in leaving as it did. It is plain to every one that if the word of the members of the Harvard crew and of the coach as gentlemen is to be taken (and who will question it?), then there certainly was a misunderstanding...
