Yale and Princeton are making every effort to win this year and it will be necessary for us to put forth all our energies and enter a large and powerful team if we mean to carry off the cup. To be sure there are one or two events which we won last year and which can be considered, if all goes well, more or less certainties this year, and those who did well last year can be relied on to train faithfully this year again. Yet confidence in winning certain events should not lead us to think we have...
...experience. Without order, of what benefit would experience be ? Evolution teaches that the present comes out of the past and goes down to the future. Evolution but shows the agencies by which God's plans are carried out. It is but the evolution of Genesis when each 'brings forth after its kind.' Science tells the same story.

The wide sale of the grammar called forth other books, and in these the same careful, skillful hand left its marks, and the same sound judgment was manifested...
...visited Greece, and upon his return in 1850 immediately began collecting material for the Greek dictionary. He put forth what was a sort of precursor to that work, 'A Glossary of Later and Byzantine Greek' in 1860. Alibone says of his contribution in this kind of learning, that "it was a peculiar boon to scholars and must occupy a place with the glossaries of Ducange and Charpentier." In 1860 he received the appointment to the professorship of Ancient, Byzantine, and Modern Greek which he held until his death. He again visited Greece...
