...entries were public, if any event did not "fill," those who were interested in making the meeting a success could persuade persons competent to enter to do so before the entries closed, and thus insure an interesting meeting. The failure of the meeting of March 8 was, in part at least, due to the fact that the entries were secret. One, and probably two, of the events which failed to occur would have taken place had the entries been public. The only reason for keeping the entries secret is, that men are often deterred from entering by seeing that some...
...they, "you have the natural endowments; together we can accomplish what we have most at heart, singly we must all fail." Is assistance given in this spirit and with this intent an alms? Most decidedly, No! It is rather a mutual helping toward a common end. Or, on the part of the donors, it was at most a loan, not repayable to the lenders, - they do not want it again, - but to the cause whose friends and representatives they were, whose interests they had most at heart, and which they believed they were most effectually aiding by the establishment...

A class of facts, easily obtained, may appear to testify to its unalloyed beneficence; but other facts, lying below the surface, and from their nature not susceptible of documentary proof, suggest that its advantages are accompanied with decided drawbacks...
DURING the fortnight which has elapsed since the first part of this letter was written, I have learned that Columbia intends to enter an eight and a four, not only in the Metropolitan Association Regatta of Friday, July 4, but also in the N. A. A. O. regatta of a few days later; that Cornell is almost certain to be a competitor in both events on the latter occasion; that Princeton has nine men in training for the same four-oared race; that the proposed prize for class sixes will not be offered before next year; that Newark will probably...
