...Ought the scholarships offered by the University to be thrown open to the competition of those who are not in need...
...note must have its photographer, and one of supremest skill. For some time Warren of Boston and Notman of Montreal held their sway, both men of superior talent. The latter did his work on British territory, and for some time avoided the impost duty, but was finally compelled to open a branch on this side of the line.

Having thus settled all Harvard's claims to oarsmanship and independence, he proceeds to open the floodgate of his scorn on Yale, and fairly inundates that hapless college with charges of cowardice, etc., etc. He says Yale found in 1875 that it was folly for her to row with Cornell, and expect to win honors, and so backed...
