Nevertheless some of the consequences of treating the Washington rule as continuously applicable have been far-reaching. The best example is, perhaps, to be found in our commercial isolation. Washington meant no such thing and yet the rule has been used as a means of fastening upon the country protection in its most extreme form. But while commercial isolation does not necessarily follow from political isolation, for all that the two policies are allied and being once adopted support each other. Each denotes alike that the nation feels sufficient to itself...
...publication of a special "Index" this year the College itself has done much to put an end to this most selfish practice so far as that book is concerned; though we hope it will realize that there is a possibility of affording some man a chance to earn his way by publishing the book. The Photographic Committee of the class of Ninety-eight has put an end to the same practice of renting the "Portfolio."

As regards permanent plant, however, the Observatory falls far behind not only observatories of the first rank, but even those of the second class. The photographic plates are housed in a modern brick building, but the other buildings are all old wooden structures, liable to destruction by fire, together with the instruments, manuscripts and books. The things chiefly needed...
