...upon the scheme as yet, since no special arrangements have been made for them; nor will there be until the completion of the Sage College, which will probably be opened formally next academic year. The girls who are here at present study hard, but in many cases do not keep up with their classes; and as a rule they are not ordinary girls by any means. Dr. Clarke's Sex in Education has been widely read, and the majority of the students hold substantially the same opinions as those expressed by the Doctor in the chapter on Coeducation...

After striking hard at the rowing of the "States" generally, taking away whatever credit Walter Brown may have deserved for whipping Sadler, and advising any other American representatives to stay at home, they tell us to keep on rowing, striving as heartily as we have done, and perhaps the next generation of Englishmen may meet us on the water as equals.
