...glad to see that arrangements are being made for another Yale debate. At the beginning of the year it was expected that there would be a triangular debating league composed of Yale, Princeton and Harvard, and, in such case, Harvard would have debated once with Yale and once with Princeton. The triangular league, however, has not been realized. Princeton, although asking for participation in debates which Harvard and Yale had already formed on a certain definite plan, wished that this plan should be altered so as better to conform with the method of debate to which Princeton men are accustomed...

Entries for this race may be made at Leavitt and Peirce's or at the boat house till tomorrow night. On Monday the annual meeting will be held, officers will be elected and there...
...world's championship though such a claim would be manifestly unjust to Cornell if allowed. But if the proposed contest should come off at all it is far more likely that the English Crew, the Cornell crew and the winner of the Harvard-Yale contest will row in a triangular race. A third and not at all unlikely solution of the question may be found in a falling through of the whole plan...
