Many studies which relate thereto, and which are necessary parts of a statesman's education, can be, and are assiduously pursued, and I doubt not that you would find hosts of Harvard men entering the political lists if by so doing they could win those rewards of faithful service which must surely come to them in any other walk of life. * * * * If things were otherwise, it might be possible to do more in the way of directly fitting young men for active participation in the political life of the republic...

Captain Mumford is to be congratulated upon the excellent work which the crew has done under his captaincy. The crew has worked as hard as all Harvard crews are expected to do, and their labor, we believe, will not be in vain. The college appreciated the exhibition...
