THE question of sending the Yale University Crew to England this summer is under discussion among the graduates of Yale, who seem very favorably disposed to the idea. We offer Yale our warm support in the matter, and hope they can be as successful in England next summer, as they were at New London this summer. Their crew is an extremely fine one, and it seems hard that, when Harvard or Yale has such a crew, it should not be sent abroad to show Oxford and Cambridge what we are doing in America. We have only one word of caution for Yale, and that is, that they are not entitled to the right to send their crew to England as "the Champion College Crew of America." Aside from the fact that we ourselves may be able to dispute that assertion next July, we would remind our friends in New Haven that there are other colleges in America, such as Cornell and Columbia, who in former times have proved themselves no despicable rivals of Yale.
