...They say "Fully alive to the evils which are connected with athletic affairs, the committee are of the opinion that intercollegiate contests stimulate athletics, stimulate general exercise, and thus favorably affect the health and moral tone of the university."

If Swarthmore college, which never rowed a race, should challenge Yale and be refused, would that refusal be a written confession of the superiority of the Swarthmore eight...
