Our freshman crew has definitely refused to allow Yale to enter the race between Harvard and Columbia. This is the only decision that Harvard should come to this year in the matter, and indeed from the first there has been no doubt that it would be finally settled in this way. The reasons for such refusal are already well known. We do not object to a freshman race with Yale, but we can row only one race, and must row Columbia, and do not think that there is room enough on the New London course for three boats to race with equal advantage. It is to be hoped that by next year some more satisfactory settlement of this vexed question can be made.
