...graduates, not so much because our Universities were unwilling or unable to do so, as because there were few young men who desired it; however, at Harvard, at any rate, the number of resident graduates is steadily increasing, for at present we have more than forty, not including, I think, those who avail themselves of our laboratories, museums, and libraries. Harvard, therefore, can well be proud of her record in past and present; but if "Hopkins" is well managed, she will have a dangerous rival in the future, and it will behoove her to make all the effort...

...example of mixed metaphor, this is fearfully and wonderfully good. We like the delicate way in which the Chronicle asserts that the editorial staff of the unhappy Courier are bores; but think it unfair for the Chronicle to expect a clean face to be "shook" (shade of Lindley Murray!) out of the barrel of a gun. And let the Chronicle editors have care, lest, in their anxiety to prove themselves men, they fail to show themselves gentlemen...
