As far as the eight-oar "championship" goes, then, Harvard has a perfect right to that title (if she has the bad taste to choose to claim it), and is justified in sending a crew to England under that name...
...soft, and as this walk takes away all the softness that there might otherwise be in it, I think it no more than right that the distance should be decreased in some way.

...Osgood, seem to us strong arguments for a return to the old motto. This college is not for the Church, and there is no reason why its motto should be. Dr. Osgood's words about Dr. Peabody meet with our hearty approval, and would if they said twice as much; but even if he does exert a strong Christian influence here, or even if the influence of the place itself is religious, that does not and cannot make this a Church College; whereas "Veritas" really does express the aim of the institution. So great a power for good as Harvard...
