...much because our Universities were unwilling or unable to do so, as because there were few young men who desired it; however, at Harvard, at any rate, the number of resident graduates is steadily increasing, for at present we have more than forty, not including, I think, those who avail themselves of our laboratories, museums, and libraries. Harvard, therefore, can well be proud of her record in past and present; but if "Hopkins" is well managed, she will have a dangerous rival in the future, and it will behoove her to make all the effort she can to retain...
...would candidly ask. Many an hour spent on rereading and memorizing notes when we have already sufficient understanding to use them as a work of reference, could be far more advantageously spent on subjects connected with our study. Notes on this outside reading would be so much more available knowledge, so much more experience of men and books. What, then, would be the harm of employing note-books in examination?

Servant won't let us in; has orders to keep out tramps. Freshman implores and raves, but with no avail. Finally sends in pocket-Bible in lieu of card, and is admitted. Uncle cordial; cousins, Sophs at Vassar. Welcome breakfast. Rain increases; have to spend the day. Luncheon. Dinner. Bezique and forfeits in the sitting-room. Rain ceases. Cousins excuse themselves to study Hebrew in the library. Uncle takes...
...suggestion was made in one of the daily papers last summer, that to study these currents and use them was a great science, and whichever crew used head-work enough to avail itself of them ought to have the benefit. The author of that suggestion must have forgotten that the positions of the crews at the start are given out by lot, and I hope that he does not accuse any of his friends of using head-work or management in the drawing of places...
