...college like Harvard, whose ambitious students are wont to boast that her professors of Latin and Greek have not their equals in America, it is a little strange that such great learning should not be allowed to cover a few sins of pedantry. If we, in our prouder moments, maintain that our professors know more than any others of av, or of fuerat for fuisset, can we not, in the recitation-room, allow a little of that learning to be uttered to our unappreciative ears? But I am not willing to admit that there is much of this pardonable pride...
...philosophers out of the students, but to give them a liberal, well-rounded course in the law as a whole; giving a full, extended course of instruction in the several most essential subjects, each topic to be treated as a whole and inductively as far as time will allow, and in addition to this, a course of analytical lectures on some of the most essential secondary subjects, with reference to a good text-book.

Practically, however, this is of no account, as the position given to Yale, and the referee's testimony as to the courses of the boats at the moment of the foul, are a clear indication of his opinion as to which boat should bear the blame of the foul. No one can regret more than Harvard that he refused to order the race rowed over, which it was his plain duty...
...that we desire to make the United States one vast garrison like Prussia, or get into the habit of picking international quarrels unnecessarily; but all our experience tells us that a certain amount of preparation is nothing more than prudence, and that it is a poor policy to allow our military knowledge to fall to so low an ebb that a war is rendered longer and more bloody by the inadequate provision to meet...
