Hence I beg leave to ask such collegians at Cambridge as think it wise to have the historic name of "Harvard" publicly championed upon the water by her youngest and greenest representatives, "Is it reasonable to expect that the New London managers, after receiving this abuse for an accident for which they were perfectly blameless, should take upon their shoulders the burden of providing...
