...practical and definite arguments from utility and experience that are more often urged in favor of Greek in the debate now going on, are likely to prevail here at Harvard, where the contest in this country has now principally centred, seems indeed very doubtful. A follower of Mr. Matthew Arnold mitt be inclined to say that Harvard is fast going over to the Philistines. How that may be we do not know, since Philistines or Barbarians in this country are hard to define, and it would be very presumptuous to use such terms without sufficient warrant.

When I insist on this...
Prof. Sylvester was given on Thursday evening a farewell reception by the faculty of the Johns Hopkins University. Among those present was Mr. Matthew Arnold, to whom Professor Sylvester dedicated his treatise on the "Laws of Verse," and who was present at the farewell reception given to the eminent mathematician by the Athenxum Club of London seven years ago, on the occasion of his coming to this country...
