...they have taken in the recent prolonged negotiations for a race between the two colleges. This charge we consider it a duty to ourselves and (if we are permitted) to our esteemed contemporaries, to deny. To the best of our belief far more, proportionately, has appeared in the public press in the way of announcement and more or less partisan comment on the proceedings than in any of the college papers. Indeed, it has been principally the outside press which, with perverted enterprise, has perpetually dragged the matter into publicity, both in and out of season. The public, of course...
...recent discussion in the Nation, carried on also to some extent in the outside press, it cannot be said that on either side it was particularly edifying. The question at issue seems hardly to have been touched upon at all with much seriousness.

...private. That the Yale Boat Club made no such attempt is shown by the fact that in some cases letters from the Yale Boat Club to ours appeared in the papers before they had been received here. The folly of this policy has been sufficiently demonstrated by the ridiculous press comments the controversy has aroused. In future we hope that an agreement will be made to keep the correspondence between the clubs strictly private until definite decisions have been reached...
