...firm pressure throughout, the appearance of their oars in the water reminding the observer of the Harvard crew of 1885, but otherwise their work was far superior to that of Storrow's crew. The Harvard crew, in their body work, followed the principles taught by Bancroft, but did not attain the smoothness which Bancroft himself and his most skillful pupils acquired. In this respect they tried to follow the English system, and seemed to have also adopted the English style of rigging, for their slides were noticeably shorter than those of the Yale crew.

We also have hospital medical schools entirely distinct from any colleges. It is, however, in the Scottish and continental universities that we see to what importance the medical faculty may attain. Edinburgh has nearly three times as many graduates in medicine as in any other department. And the graduation fees annually from the medical students are 35,000 dollars, whereas the fees of other students only amount to 2,500 dollars. In the Prussian universities more than one half the degrees...
