...Nation this summer in relation to the Divinity School. We cannot but think that the ground taken by the Nation is the right one, and that it was a mistake for President Eliot to come forward so prominently and solicit subscriptions for the school. We are sure that President Eliot, after having done so much to give Harvard a national position, would not intentionally take any step to diminish its claim to that position; but it certainly seems to us that his solicitation of subscriptions for the Divinity School has this tendency.

...four, and where there is only one applicant, it makes no difference at what hour the book is taken out. The satisfactory management of the Library has rendered criticism of late unnecessary, and, in calling attention to a change which should, as it seems, be made, we feel sure that the authorities will give the point due consideration...

We are happy, however, to be able to state that the facts in the case do not warrant such a conclusion. Yale, to be sure, has a much better crew in some respects than that of last year. The men are heavier, taller, and row in better form; but they are all new men except three, - a fact greatly in our favor, and one that superficial writers in making their estimate too often overlook.
