There have been but 7 members from the Divinity School, while the Scientific School and special students number together 38. It seems improper, therefore, that the former should have the right to be represented on the board of directors, while the latter have not. The whole number of members outside the undergraduate department and exclusive of the faculty and the Law School is ninety-five. It is proper that their interests should be represented on the board, and a common director from them all, would be sufficient and just...

Now, considering the closeness of the race...

...while Yale persists in publishing the correspondence of the two colleges. And, finally, he casts a most unwarranted slur on the character of a gentleman to whom Harvard boating owes more than Harvard can ever hope to repay; but this is quite in keeping with the character of the whole communication. I cannot close this letter without once more making a protest against the conduct of certain graduates, who, while taking an interest in the welfare of the college, for which we have, indeed, every reason to be grateful, will take no trouble to inquire into the merits or demerits...
