PRESIDENT ELIOT'S DEPARTURE.

With President Eliot go the best wishes of the University. He is going on a hard journey; one which would tax any man's strength; but one which he is undertaking with his characteristic boldness for the University's sake. He is carrying into the West the true academic spirit of Harvard, appealing to our graduates and to the scholars of the western states, and through them spreading the reputation of the great educational system, of which he was chief founder. It is partly through the efforts of the alumni that a larger western representation may be secured; and by a visit from the President the Harvard spirit, which has spread throughout the country, will be aroused as by nothing else.
