As the last Harvard-Yale crew race for the duration of the war approaches this Saturday, William J. Bingham '16, director of Athletics, writing in the Alumni Bulletin, deplored the news of the cancellation of crew at Yale, and said that "the Harvard-Yale rowing tradition is too worthwhile to suspend even for such practical reasons as finance."
Stressing the fact that the information was a complete surprise to him, Bingham pointed out that "during the last war it was Yale who requested Harvard to row in 1918 even though we could not continue with the four-mile race."
