...intended but a Girls' High School in which the teachers should be Harvard professors. This was by no means a novelty: long before the Annex was dreamed of, Harvard professors had given lessons at private schools in Boston. This was all well enough; professors of course had a right to dispose of their leisure in giving additional instruction, and nothing was thought of the matter. So it was when the Annex was established. At first all was a depth of mystery, and save for an occasional meeting at the notebook counter, or sundry jests in the College journals...

...objection 4, the Crimson's statement is indorsed. Captain Bancroft was perfectly right in telling '81 that only by her rowing Cornell could the 'Varsity be kept up; there were no class races to rely upon then. He was right, again, in advising '82 to row Columbia, because he did not know how much the class races were going to amount to, as in that year they were rowed for the first time for a long while.
