It takes the HERALD-CRIMSON particularly to task and advises us to read the editorials of two Philadelphia papers, in articles which have supported them, we believe, as a local institution, without giving any sound reasons for so doing. The Philadelphia Evening News says of the Pennsylvanians; "They have met and defeated all the other prominent oarsmen." However this may be with regard to four oared...
