...right one, and that it was a mistake for President Eliot to come forward so prominently and solicit subscriptions for the school. We are sure that President Eliot, after having done so much to give Harvard a national position, would not intentionally take any step to diminish its claim to that position; but it certainly seems to us that his solicitation of subscriptions for the Divinity School has this tendency. After carefully reading Dr. Clarke's arguments we cannot see how the Harvard Divinity School, or any other divinity school, can be really non-sectarian. Holding, as we do, that...
...Private College for Women begins its career with bright prospects for future success. As many as twenty candidates have presented themselves for admission, and among them students from Vassar, Smith, and Wellesley, in spite of the fact that those colleges claim to offer to their students all the advantages of Harvard. We take the occasion to report to our Western exchanges, who have already begun to talk about women at "cultivated" Harvard, that the Private College for Women is entirely separate from the College. It is controlled by persons who have no connection with the University, and is merely...
...Pennsylvania, won the first heat in 11 1/8 seconds, and Wendell the second in 10 4/5 seconds, Loney, Princeton, having a walk-over for the third heat.

It has become common lately to suppose that the University has unlimited claim upon the few men who have supported our boating interests so well in the past; as if the excellence of service already performed constituted a claim to additional work in the future. We must remember that there are various reasons why the Crew may not feel like making extra effort...
...agreement, at the Spring Games, provided that any one makes the required time. We shall, however, have a competent professional judge to watch the walking, and contestants will be handled with very little mercy unless they walk in strictly fair style. This is the only protection we claim, and it is, we think, perfectly fair to all parties. We hope men don't want to win a walking race in a run, and we certainly don't want to give a costly prize for such a race...
