...uncle, who, as is tacitly understood, will see that he wants nothing, and will give him a salaried place in his counting-room the moment he graduates; while C. D. must incur the cost of studying a profession, and will have a mother and sisters dependent upon him for support. It is needless to multiply illustrations to show that restricted scholarships may give no encouragement to students who have most to contend with, and who most need their stimulus...
...annual University boat-race between the two old Colleges should be permanently established at New London, under a management that shall not be handicapped by the simultaneous presence upon the river of any other crews whatever. As it seems to me, on the one hand, that Harvard's support of the new regatta will do far more than the support of any other single college in making it a success, and, on the other hand, that its successful establishment will remove the last pretext which any one may offer for interfering with the arrangements at New London, I am glad...

There are now (1878-79) employed in the school three professors, a lecturer on Ecclesiastical History, and an instructor...
...those of us who have ever attempted to reconstruct a single scene can, in a measure, estimate his labor. He has, however, as a recompense for his trouble the common assent that the dialogue in "Fair Rosamond" is uncommonly clever. It was very gratifying to receive the cordial support of the Columbia papers, and all of us who are interested in the theatricals themselves, or their worthy object, cannot fail to recognize their generous support and patronage by the ladies of New York...
