...from being an easy task to bring all the subjects one would be informed about within the number of electives. The primers of science which pretend to impart general information on their respective subjects are seldom reliable, and usually written for youthful minds. Since able instructors in the different sciences are not wanting, a series of short courses of evening lectures on the natural sciences might profitably supplement our regular instruction. The lecture-rooms of Boylston Hall are well suited for the purpose; one of them offering means for extensive illustration of subjects by calcium light...

A little farther on, and Weld and Holyoke had drawn slightly ahead, while Matthews and Holworthy remained each about half a length behind. The steady rowing was kept up till near the stake, when Matthews and Holyoke began...
