LAST night a meeting was held in Lower Holden to discuss the question whether Harvard should withdraw from the Rowing Association of American Colleges. Mr. Weld, President of the H. U. B. C., opened the meeting by saying that it was the unanimous opinion of the Executive Committee that the advice of our delegates to the late convention should be accepted, and that Harvard should withdraw. He gave some of the reasons which led the Committee to form this opinion, and which were mainly those stated by one of the delegates in an article in our last number entitled "Harvard...
ALTHOUGH the question of Harvard's withdrawing from the Rowing Association of American Colleges was presumably settled at the last general meeting of the H. U. B. C., yet as there is quite a large party in College who, not knowing their own strength, did not oppose the adoption of the resolution to remain in the Association, but who are extremely anxious to have the resolution rescinded, and who have come to doubt the numerical strength of their opponents, it seems but just that some statement of the reasons for their desire to withdraw should be made public...

It is absurd to think...
...first number of this volume of the Crimson we expressed the opinion that Harvard could not honorably withdraw from the Rowing Association of American Colleges. We still think that at the time we had no cause to justify our leaving the Association, but the action of the convention which met at Springfield last week leaves us to choose now between two disagreeable alternatives. We must either submit to seeing questions of the greatest importance in regard to intercollegiate rowing decided according to the expense they involve, rather than the advantages or disadvantages they would cause; we must suffer the minority...
