...make journalism their profession, from the inferior to the superior grades of newspaper work. Mr. Pulitzer, of the New York World, is a strong advocate of the formation of a college chair of journalism, believing that by this means a stronger inducement will be offered to the undergraduates to adapt themselves more thoroughly to this occupation in life, and that in this way the tone and matter of the various publications will be perceptibly improved. Is there anything to hinder Harvard from trying the experiment by way of having a few lectures on the subject...
...that he was not employed to give instructions in the British style of rowing. His service would be rather to consolidate this with the American system, taking from each the good that was in them and producing something better than either.

Special encouragement will be given to parties desiring to furnish funds for the establishment of an 'Annex,' similar to the Harvard 'Annex,' in which young women may pursue courses of study, differing, in some respects, from that prescribed for the young men, and, as may be thought, better adapted to their necessities. Such persons, if found worthy, will be entitled to receive the honors of the University. Brown University, which has always been conservative, is not unmindful of the demands of the spirit of the age, and will, in the end, be sure to adapt herself to the spirit...
