...Harvard correspondent of the Boston Traveller hits upon a very suggestive theme: "It is doubtful," he says, "if one Harvard student in forty could give a clear statement of the value to astronomers of the observations made on Wednesday last. Towards the end of the year the senior class are invited to visit the observatory and inspect it, and they are then given a look at the moon.

The referee would almost as constantly decide that he could grant no foul, his statement generally being that he had seen none. Understand, no charge is made against Mr. Cabot, except that at times he seemed rattled and inefficient. His mistakes were chiefly due to the methods employed by Yale...
