IT seems likely that our Freshmen have at length found some one to row with. The Freshmen at Columbia are devoting all their energies to the support of the University four, and therefore could not accept the challenge sent to them; Yale would not accept; Princeton has no navy; but at Cornell the challenge has been taken into consideration, and the probabilities are that it will be accepted. Cornell appears to be all enthusiasm to revive a college sport for which she has so many advantages, and if the race is decided on she will probably send a formidable crew. We hope that the rowing interest will be awakened among our Freshmen, and that it will call forth the good material they undoubtedly possess. At the same time they would do well to remember the answer sent by the Columbia Freshmen, and to consider that it is their first duty to insure the success of the University crew.
