THERE appeared in the last Crimson an article stating our captain's objections to rowing at New London. Thinking that he had not had opportunity at the first meeting of the Boat Club to state his views as fully as he might wish, and believing that he was justified in the main in his opinions, we printed the article in the hope that it might remove all misunderstanding as to his position. The Advocate has failed to appreciate our purpose. We have repeatedly asserted that we hold ourselves responsible only for what appears in our editorial column. Had the gentlemen of the Advocate but known this, their criticism of our conduct would have been unnecessary, as the article in question appeared without any editorial comment on our part. From the beginning of the controversy with Yale, the Crimson has been strongly in favor of a race with that college, and has thought any other course except that of New London impossible. We trust that this answer will sufficiently explain our own position, and will show, at the same time, that we fully agree with our captain in most of the grounds urged by him against New London.
