...well qualified to accept the position of professor to which the university saw fit to call him at the inception of a Scientific department. For more than thirty years he has filled the position with credit to himself and the university. Few, indeed, can show a record of longer service faithfully performed. Another leader has fallen, another gap been made in the ranks of those whom the university and its students have been accustomed to depend on and look up to respectively as the educational forces of Cambridge...
...beneficial effects of Protection upon the laborer are disputed, but, thanks to two Massachusetts statisticians, there can no longer be doubt upon the question. It was admitted that wages were higher here, but it was claimed that cost of living was proportionately high. Col. Wright's figures show the falsity of this.

We will not speak of the selection of tradesmen for affiliation, although some discontent has been expressed in this connection...
...members of ancient corporations cling to existing institutions even in the face of reason. Public opinion in Germany is undoubtedly moving against this academic verdict. A book has just been published which shows that the opposition to such an artificial attempt to restrict the popular tendency is no longer confined to the interested party itself, but is shared even by a man whose well known impartiality and established position give to his views an unusual weight...
