...made his bes: point by quoting Professor Taussig to prove that bimetallism could be put into successful operation. "Of the two objections to bimetallism proposed by Professor Taussing," he said, 'the one is removed by the wording of the question, the other by actual facts." MacFarland spoke convincingly. His form was good, but a little too quiet...
...Dorr '97, the second Harvard speaker, caused a laugh in rebutting MacFarland's point about the destruction of the international par of exchange. "He says it is so, but he brings forward no facts to prove it; we have his word no facts to prove it; we have his word for it, but that is all."

The men were taken immediately to the Union house and driven out to Cambridge from there in carriages. The launch then returned to the submerged barge...

It is evident therefore that, to win the cup which has been contested for in former years, those who own boats in the classes which are to race must make their arrangements to do all in their power to strengthen Harvard's representation in the affair...
