The place of the general lawyer is now filled by the marine lawyer, the criminal lawyer, the trust lawyer, and many others. But the growth of Harvard within the last few years has been rather to discourage special attention to any one study, and to tempt the student to rapidly glance over a large portion of the surface-outlines of human thought.

Thayer, Ernst, and a few others met a Nine from Brown; these latter being favored - for that occasion only, we trust - with the kind services of Messrs. Tyng and Thatcher.

The positions of the men are now announced as settled upon; but (much as we long to see the crew made up) we trust that this will not prove to be the fact. That Otis is the best man for stroke we have little doubt, but we question seriously the policy of placing Wetmore No. 2, and changing two of the strongest men in the boat over to the side they are not accustomed to row on. Bacon and Taylor may be able...
