...appeal in vain and that it was strong in the affections of a vast body of its graduates, and in the kindly regard of its academic rivals. An Englishman might meditate on Mr. Lowell's eloquent tribute to the historic glories of Oxford and Cambridge, and think that Harvard was not without compensation for their absece.
