...think it incumbent upon the signers to explain their reasons now, as they did not take the trouble to attend the meeting and explain them there. It is ridiculous to suppose that the explanation of the Harvard crew would so easily have satisfied the entire meeting of the club, composed as it was largely of men who had come there fearing that the crew were in the wrong and Columbia in the right, unless that explanation were perfectly clear and reasonable, as it undoubtedly...
...Wednesday, Oct. 25th. The programme for this meeting will be the same as for the university meeting, except that throwing the hammer and putting the shot will be left out.

The reason they gave was that if they rowed when the tide had just turned, and Harvard won in slower time than had been made in the Yale race, Columbia men would think Harvard had won easily. And yet when they refused to row on the first of the ebb, when both courses were equal, and fast time could be made, they offered to row against the tide, or at dead low water, though, of course, it is apparent that it was impossible to make...
