Very truly yours,WM. AMOS BANCROFT,Captain H. U. B. C.[We said, in the editorial to which Mr. Bancroft refers, that he should explain his views in case he disagreed with our correspondents. Enough is not known concerning the intentions of those who have charge of our rowing interests, and our remarks were made with the intention of furnishing an opportunity for a reply to the criticisms of the graduates who have written to us on the subject.

...that they should be arranged with some reference to the convenience of both. In some cases the convenience of students has been consulted when the time was fixed for these simple recreations; in other cases the question has been settled without regard to their convenience. Cases have been known, accordingly, of men having four of these preliminary trials in one week. The object of each of the four examinations has tests of knowledge, and their object in pointing out the proper way of getting up the subjects, are then both alike unattained. It is a simple matter for an instructor...
