...short, Mr. White would have Greek to us a fountain of living waters and not a dead sea. To remedy present evils, therefore, he wisely advocates the economical method of reading at sight, and gives careful directions for doing so. English is but a medium in studying Greek, and ought gradually to be dispensed with by the advancing scholar until a medium is no longer needed. In this doctrine is the essence of reform. The standard of classical learning in America is much too low; let us welcome a well-considered attempt to raise...

The single-sculls will attract no little attention, and the Union and Harvard four-oars ought to make a good race. It is a matter of regret, however, that none of the associations challenged is willing to send a six-oared crew. The race which it was hoped would take place, May 25, between the six of the winning club and the amateur sixes, will be given...
