PROFESSOR TROWBRIDGE' setter on rowing which appeared in yesterday's CRIMSON ought to receive more than an ordinary reading. He makes several suggestions for the scientific investigation of the most effective stroke, which are certainly original -, and doubtless practicable. Professor Trowbridge is too much of a scientist to suggest a method of determining the relative value of different strokes by experiment, unless there is a reasonable possibility that some accurate and valuable results can be obtained. His whole life has been a study of scientific problems even more intricate and difficult than this one, and we believe that investigations under...
...Hoar was a great friend of Prof. Agassiz and was himself quite a scientist. He was many times invited to deliver lectures on geology and other sciences by the colleges in New England but always declined...
...Massachusetts made a bequest in 1750, of a little over sigma 23 for the support of a series of four lectures, one each year, occurring in regular rotation and treating of subjects in religion. Justice Dudley was of an investigating turn of mind, more or less of a scientist and very much interested in all matters of theology. Being interested in Harvard College, he thought it would be a good thing to establish these lectures as regular institutions. In 1755, soon after his death, the first lecture was given, and they were kept up in the order prescribed...
...because it was carried to such extremes by some, science nevertheless will always possess immense power over men's minds for its orderliness, depth, beauty, and above all for its authority. That chemical changes and mathematical equalities will always remain the same is, to the scientist indisputable. That this authority should be introduced into the moral and intellectual world is the wish of broad-minded men of the present day. As organic development has been achieved in the exact sciences so are its beneficial effects needed in the less tangible divisions. An organism of culture, in other words...
