But the fact that the bridge was to cross the two-mile course, used by the Union and Harvard boat clubs, for a while threatened to impair the boating facilities hitherto enjoyed by our various crews. Arrangements have at last been made, however, by the Union Boat Club, whereby the bridge will be so constructed that it will injure the present course in no material way. And so rather than a hindrance the new bridge will prove...

A standing committee of three members of the faculty, the president being one, has been appointed...

If it discovers that in giving a degree to a particular person the college will impair its moral standing and lower the value of its diplomas with all respectable and thoughtful men, it is its duty not to give it. Moreover, it cannot afford, any more than any apostle, or prophet, or moralist, or minister, to do a wrong thing just once more. The time for every...
