CORNELL could have expected no other reception for the challenge she sent us than the one she received. As long as we entertain any respect for ourselves, as long as we desire to see college boat-racing raised above the level of street-fights, we must turn a deaf ear to such braggadocio messages as this one from Cornell. The spirit displayed by this invitation to row "in case we win the race with Yale" is the spirit of the prize-ring. There is a deep-seated feeling in the breasts of every one to see our crew row with...
...have reviewed thus at length the College Pen, because two numbers of the magazine have been sent us, and because we felt that this "literary gem" should be brought to the notice of our readers if any of them happened to be unacquainted with it.

A number of men who live beyond the Ohio are induced to come to Cambridge, in preference to any other Eastern college...
...Pall Mall Gazette, in regard to the challenge Cornell has sent to England, says: "It is to be regretted if the refusal of Cambridge to row should be interpreted, as very likely it will be, into a confession of fear of the prowess of American oarsmen. But the truth is, that these foreign aspirations are a nuisance to university men. If accepted, the long vacation is sacrificed, and that for a game which is not worth the candle. It is felt that there is no special honor to be gained by rowing and defeating an American club; but the match...
