At the mile and a half buoy Harvard was eight lengths to the good, and was rowing in splendid form, while Columbia had begun to show a ragged stroke.

...favor of a certain amount of Greek and Latin as required, although Boston University cannot be said to have acquired a reptation for great strength in the Greek and Latin classics. The only way of settling a controversy like this is by actual experiment, continued long enough to show positive results. The experience of other countries will not serve us, for in every case there will be found governmental oversight of universities or some condition which does not obtain in the United States.
