...have received today your letter of April 18, making certain inquiries as to my opinions as a candidate of the board of overseers of Harvard University. I can only say in reply that I have always believed that it would be better in every way that attendance on moring prayers at Harvrd should be voluntary; and that the question of attendance at church on Sunday is one which could be most fitly and safely entrusted to the decision of the parents or guardians of each student...

Now, rowing is, of all things, that which a man finds most impossible to learn by himself. There is nothing, perhaps, in which unaided practice is so certain to make a man develop a bad style. If any person doubts this, let him look at the River Thames on a Saturday afternoon. From Teddington to Wadsworth it is covered with boats, which are being rowed and sculled by persons exhibiting every possible fault that an oarsman can commit...
