...connection with this rule, we would call the attention of the Faculty to the fact that a written agreement, signed by the graduate committee of the Boat Club, whose appointment was confirmed by the Faculty themselves, exists between Harvard and Yale, agreeing to row a race this year, unless one of the parties to the agreement shall be notified to the contrary before December...
...second resolution, of course, raises the question what it a "professional," as to which, as many of our readers know, there is a vast body of learning in existence, but as yet no common agreement.
