Let either a general meeting be called or a conference of the stewards and other officers to set a date for a tournament to settle who shall go to Hartford. After the brilliant record made during the summer by several Harvard men, and one in particular, it would seem as if the college ought to retain this championship, if only authority can be obtained for the proper men to go to the inter-collegiate meet...

Fifteen seconds later Harvard swent across the line having covered the distance in time only slower by a second than the previous best record. Our crew rowed a remarkably fine race, especially when the necessary changes in personnel made so few days before the race are taken into consideration, but the Yale crew was too much for them as they were, and noe we can only wait until next June to try for victory once...
