...have seen, there was a revolution in rowing at Harvard. It was not until the early part of winter that Mr. Storrow, in the face of a certain amount of passive opposition, took the rather daring step, by engaging Mr. Faulkner as coach, of throwing overboard all those principles which, it is supposed, had won Harvard many a splendid victory. An entirely new system of rowing was inaugurated, and there was much grumbling and dubious head-shaking at the issue.

...action of the Harvard College Overseers in adopting a minute providing for a certain modification of the policy pursued by the president and faculty for some years past, is one of those interferences by outsiders with college management which must always, on general principles, be more or less regretted. For the overseers are, to all intents and purposes, outsiders-the representatives of alumni who live all over the country-and are intended to be what their name indicates-a sort of council to keep an eye on the doings of the faculty and students. They are, for the most part...
