...McCosh attended Harvard's celebration as an invited guest. He probably expected to derive some benefit for his college and much pleasure for himself from his visit. He naturally noticed that the stock of honorary degrees conferred by Harvard was exhausted before Princeton was reached.

The privilege could easily be got from the proprietors of the field, and much larger crowds would visit the boat house at the annual scratch races, and at the spring practice of the crews. We do not say that the scheme would prove anything more than a great accommodation; but it might prove remuneration and surely would pay for itself...
