...interest in the game goes, there can be no fear; any form of rivalry between Harvard and Yale is sure to attract eager attention. It is well, though, to urge the necessity for financial support. The management here is at present wholly without funds, and the demands of collectors should therefore be willingly met. The receipts from the game itself are not to be counted upon entirely for covering expenses.

On her present American tour she has been greeted most generously and the criticisms she has received have been most flattering...
...members of the University and their friends. Such a scheme has much to commend it, and ought not to be lightly dismissed. Popular lectures at a convenient hour of the day would be an agreeable and legitimate addition to our University curriculum and could not fail to attract widespread interest. The audiences at evening lectures and readings are necessarily limited to members of the University and the Cambridge public.
