If it should be an acceptance and our crew should prove to be the one to uphold the American honors we shall find ourselves under the necessity of accepting great favors of one who has no connection with us and is not prompted not by any particular loyalty to Harvard for her own sake. We feel sure that if there was any call to send a Harvard...
