...perhaps, hard to distinguish between the post hoc and the propter hoc in such a case as this, but let us look at the facts. In the old Harvard gymnasium the daily winter attendance, excepting for a week or two just before the opening of the river, when candidates for the class crews come to exercise, was in my observation (1870-1877) somewhere about 20 to 50. I have been in regular daily attendance for months at a time for two hours at the end of the day with not four or five men exercising beside the University crew. There...
...libenter laudamus, qui, cum ingenii sui ope aeris thesaurum ingentem invenisset, Academiam suam divitiarum suarum amplitudine ornavit, iudice me (insusurrare mihi videtur Horatius), iudice me, "non sordidus auctor naturae verique." Quid autem de vivario illo dicam, aequoris Atlantici prope marginem ulteriorem condito, ubi maris immensi miracula minutis-sima ab hoc viro accuratissime examinantur, ubi oceani ipsius e penetralibus profundis rerum naturae veritas ipsa audacter extorquetur?

Sed cogitavimus ut debemus ostentare ad vos quomodo faciliter possumus exsecare nostrum Publicnm Oratorem, qui non cogi???a parva tubera sui styli Latini. Nostri respectus ad LOWELLUM qui est unum de nosfris D.C.L's, et circa optimum, ut credimus...
...glance at the College. Only students could look thither with such indifference. The impression of the grandeur of the Harvard group of buildings died away in our freshman year. Still as we take our "casual glance," it might be well to remember that Wadsworth was once Washington's headquarters [hoc verumest], and that while he was there the shells from the British forts fell so dangerously near, that a removal of the General's quarters, further out to the old Longfellow house on Brattle street was made necessary; also that Massachusetts, as well as the old church opposite, was used...
