...whom there is scarcely a more prominent preacher in this country. In the next class we find C. F. Adams, Jr., eminent as an authority on the subject of railroads. Professor Henry Adams, formerly editor of the North American Review, was in the class of '58. Mr. John Fiske, whose exposition of the Spencerian philosophy the Atlantic regards as more charming than Mr. Spencer's own, graduated in '63. Joseph Cook, after Professor Park, the foremost man of that school of theology, graduated as late as '65. Mr. Millett, now rising into eminence as an artist, was in the class...

Littauer, who is one of the most faithful workers, has made marked improvement; and the same would apply to Harriman, who is, however, less regular in his attendance, and whose strength seems to lack that ruggedness which is a marked characteristic of the other candidates for this year's crew. Smith has, of course, fallen some what behind the others during his absence. There is a general looseness and awkwardness about his shoulders; he gets his hands away from...
