...with equanimity. But what adds to our disappointment is a thought which is apt to suggest itself to us, however unpleasant it may be, that we are not getting fair treatment. If we were sure that every thing was square and above-board, and that we had an equal chance with every other man, we would go our way in peace, simply regretting our bad luck...
...canoe sailing have introduced an entirely new phase of the sport, and removed a vast deal of unnecessary labor. We hear every summer of the pleasant cruises of countless clubs, yet nothing has ever been done here to inaugurate such a movement."

If an efficiency could be secured in every department of college instruction at Harvard equal to that of the department of philosophy or of Greek, our position as a college would be enviable indeed; and it would be all the more a matter of regret if the success of either of these departments should become impaired by the permanent departure of any of its instructors from...
