Secondly, the writer urges as favorable to the project "the generous rivalry, communion, and fellowship" which would ensue therefrom. He regards the "emulation and enthusiasm provoked and produced" by the regatta as one of its best features, and asserts that "all this would be realized on a more elevated scale" in the proposed contest...

The ingenuity of special pleading in defence of "wide and generous views" loses vitality when the speaker is felt to be narrow-minded, and is suspected of seeking to cloak his own real ideas in wordy, philanthropic expression as to the necessities of the times! The students at Harvard have had much to stand from those cavillers who have made aspersions...
