While the application is under discussion, how-ever, at the Patent Office the hucksters and the haberdashers will shout their Harvard Lemonade and their Harvard Waistcoats; the Harvard Tea-Store will continue its sale of "choice groceries," and the Harvard Ulster still delight the readers of the papers, unmolested. When we get our patent then will come our triumph. Until then - patience...

In '69 the trial was hardly a satisfactory one, being out of course in that...
...having returned an immediate answer to your kind letter of November 16, but I felt it was a matter which could not be settled off-hand. Although I am sure that I can assert, on behalf of the University, that they are most ready to acknowledge the spirit of Harvard in wishing to come over to England to row a match, and feel most flattered by it, yet at the same time the difficulties of getting together anything like a representative eight to row in August are very great, as I am sure you would feel if you were...
