At a meeting of the graduate advisory committee selected by the Yale University Boat Club, held Saturday afternoon, the following was drafted to be incorporated in a letter to the Harvard Boat Club, containing conditions upon which Yale wishes to have the race rowed: "In a spirit of fairness, we agree to send a graduate committee to confer with the Harvard committee and to abide by the joint action of those committees, or, in their failure, to agree to abide by the decision of a neutral committee appointed by them to decide, in accordance with the ordinary rules of boating. All disputed points, provided that Harvard agrees to abide by the joint action of these committees, or, in case of a disputed point, by the decision of the neutral committee. But, in order that neither party may withdraw from the race in case it is dissatisfied with any action of the joint committee, or any decision of the neutral committee, we request that a written agreement be entered into by both parties that the race shall be rowed without fail, according to the rules which the aforesaid committee shall adopt."
