...them last summer then we "larf most immoderate." If Columbia had ever signified her intention of entering the regatta at Lake George, the university might have some cause for complaint, but as we never expected to enter that regatta or give the University of Pennsylvania any reason to think we would enter, all their charges are as "empty as the wind." As for rowing Princeton - but that is too absurd...
...said to be very great. A consideration of these facts affords some interesting reflections upon the subject of the development of athletic sports in America. The question of whether our colleges are really going too far in their encouragement of athletics immediately comes up. Few will doubt, we think, that of late there have appeared certain tendencies in our athletics which, unless checked, might have produced evil results.

...been so debarred, we should have been greatly weakened. There are almost no clubs about here of any strength, and the result would be that we should be entirely deprived of practice with strong nines or would be obliged to bring them to us with great expense. I think that we have justly stated the case, and that men should think carefully before they condemn our course...
