There are many others of equal value and interest, some singularly bold compared with the handwriting of to-day, some singularly cramped and irregular. Perhaps the most interesting of all is that of Wm. Gallison. It is evidently the close of a letter sent home from school, and beside the signature is a drawing, here copied, evidently representing a student of the period. The letter is dated...
...insight, will undertake to say that one deserves a percentage of ninety-eight while the work of another is placed at ninety-seven. The shade of difference is too minute to allow of the one student's calling himself first in his class, while his equal, likely enough, is ranked second. In addition, men do not come to Harvard to be ranged in a catalogue of their worthiness or unworthiness, no more should they be in their diligence or negligence.

The men hardly look like a university crew, and one would scarcely think them equal to a four mile race. Yesterday afternoon they took a time row over the course, followed by their coach, Ellis Ward, in the launch. They row quite smoothly, but lack life and staying power...
