...Divinity School. We cannot but think that the ground taken by the Nation is the 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...
...additional expense which would be necessary is not at the bottom of the difficulty; but even this ought to be incurred, if it can accomplish an equivalent amount of good. And this has been proved to be the case, not only in public libraries, but in foreign universities, where much use of them is made by students at night...

The addition of Trimble, as stroke, is naturally the most important feature; his rowing seems to have lost none of its gracefulness in this new position; while Brigham, at No. 6, brings the experience of several University races. Of the other changes not so much need be said, save that, in the main, the crew is heavier than the old one, and is rowing fairly...
