TLS, two pages, 6 x 7.75, Princeton University letterhead, March 29, 1910. Wilson writes to Professor W. B. “Wick” Scott. In part: “I can see no objection to allowing the crew of the Central High School of Philadelphia to come up and row a race with a freshman crew on Carnegie Lake, though of course I think it ought to be very distinctly understood that it involves no obligation on our part whatever to row a return race with them away from Princeton…. It seems to me clearly, particularly at this juncture, a mistake to allow any crew to go away from Princeton, and I have always thought it a mistake to allow irregular crews, that is to say bodies of men going away as individuals and not as responsible representatives of the University….” In very good to fine condition, with intersecting folds (vertical fold to first name), light soiling and wrinkling (a few tape stains), and light toning to top half of signed page. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
