We publish to-day Columbia's challenge to the freshman class. Extended comment upon the challenge at this early date is hardly necessary. We believe that eighty-nine will show the energy and enthusiasm, shown by other classes, in their efforts to get a victory over the Columbia freshmen. '86 and '88 both won their freshman races with Columbia. And if there is anything in precedent, '89 should win next year. The Spectator very rightly says: "A reliance upon skill and strength, however, will be found to be more useful than precedent when they come to start next June." We believe that the freshmen can produce a crew capable of scoring a victory over Columbia, if they are willing to take upon themselves the "hard, steady work," that is always a necessary factor in success.
