...University of Vienna has 6135 students now, against 5007 at the beginning of the year. To greater number of students ever attended any university, though not much is heard about this one. Among them are over 100 Americans and Australians attending the scientific department...
...fostered anywhere, and will disappear forever. That would be an evil. Four years of isolation at college is not to be desired; but Harvard, we believe, gains in being on a side road where the rumble of the continually passing trains on the trunk line is not heard; so our meditations are not interrupted and we do not become "men of the world" before our time...

And it seems that they doubted with great propriety. The proposition of admitting Columbia into the four-mile race with Yale on the Thames is preposterous. Every rowing man and almost every student in the country knows that the course at New London is utterly unfit for a race between three crews...
