...devotees to aquatic sports there appear no single scullers. When we remember Harvard's former glory in this respect, and the honors gained by her representatives abroad, as well as the well-contested victories in exciting local races, we feel that there exists at present a lamentable lack of interest in this kind of sport previously so popular and commendable.

(3) "Something should be done to enable the university to help original research." To a certain extent the scheme of an American school at Athens, in which Harvard has so much interest at present, may be said to be a move towards the solution of this problem. But it is doubtful whether improvement is so much needed in this direction as in what is comparatively the elementary portion of the college work at Harvard. But that all these reforms and advancements...
