...than the unfavorable criticism of the college was, at one time, inclined to admit. The warnings that the Advocate urges upon the present Freshman class are wise and practical. It is useless to undertake to row a race when the amount of money that can be raised to support the crew is still a vague uncertainty: it is also well, before sending a challenge, to consult those who have had somewhat more than a few months' experience in rowing. But these are not the only morals to be drawn. One of the causes of '81's ill success this year...
...that the Columbia boys have done a big thing. They do not enjoy the advantages for exercise and training that some more favored seats of learning possess, and they have a comparatively small number of rowing-men to choose from; but in the face of these difficulties, with the support of a large number of wealthy and liberal graduates, and with Mr. Jasper Goodwin to push matters, they have imitated the action taken by Harvard in '69, and have improved upon the example.

There is but one thing more wanted to increase the chances of success; that is, that the Nine should have the bodily support of a number of Harvard men at the next Yale game. Every one should consider that his presence at or absence from New Haven on the 24th will affect the result of the game to a considerable extent. Each man who cares to see Harvard victorious should make a point...
