...publish this morning a part of the report made by Mr. Knapp on the condition of the boat house at the time of the accident. Mr. Knapp finds several faults, each of which contributed to bring about the disaster,-some of which an examination would have shown, and some not. Neither the club nor the college seems to be to blame in particular, although we must confess it seems to us quite unsatisfactory to learn that, when a little careful investigation would have saved us from the accident, it was not made.

...have no wish to continue any controversy with the Yale News in regard to its report on the recent freshman foot-ball game.

...five other of the "Public Schools" which have come to be regarded by those not practically acquainted with the general system of classical education in England as specimens of the whole. This is a very unfortunate mistake, caused mainly by the Commissioners some years ago having made a report to Parliament based almost solely on those six or seven well known and aristocratic schools, which still clung to the old classical system long after most important and liberal reforms had been introduced into the great body of the "Grammar" or endowed schools of the country, such as Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield...
