...Peabody, Preacher to the University, and one of the best-beloved and venerated men in America. For a quarter of a century he has been a higher officer in the college, and it is two-thirds of a century since he first became connected with Harvard-first as a student and then as tutor.

The question is at present, so far as I know, not practical; that is, no proposition of change is likely to arise in the faculty. What would be the fate of any proposition arising from the students? I cannot even guess. Very likely we are well enough...
