...should like to add one word on my individual account. What I personally wish we might see growing up here is a complete system of self-government by the students,-the faculty only regulating studies, and having nothing to do with conduct except in altogether unusual emergencies. If there could be but one crime, "behavior disgraceful to the college," and one punishment, expulsion, that would, it seems to me, be the ideal state of things. But it is obvious that such a consummation will have to be reached, if it ever is reached, step by step; and between...
...surely they are quite real. They are influences acting silently and secretly but still forcibly. They are benefits which, though unseen, are yet almost key-notes of life, as the force of gravity is the key-note of the life of the universe. To them we may also add the sociableness and friendships, always attendant upon a college career, and the critical nature and power of clear discernment, which seem to belong to college men, and by which a student is so quickly and generally so rightly estimated. Nowhere, more than at college, does a man pass for what...
...College. Gardner Colby gave $170,000 to Colby University and $100,000 to Newton Theological Seminary. J. B. Colgate gave $300,000 to Madison University. George I. Seney gave $450,000 to Wesleyan University. The Crozer family gave $300,000 to Crozer Theological Seminary. It would be easy to add to this list. There are hundreds of men and women whose splendid gifts entitle them to be held in everlasting remembrance. Such gifts are so common now that they are expected. If a rich man should live and die without doing something for the cause of education, he would...
...Harvard, yet could not be scored as a success for our rival, while, if we accept the testimony of the Globe and Herald, it should have been placed to the credit of our freshmen, since the faulty decisions of the umpire helped the freshman team from New Haven to add five runs to its score. But though we cannot lay claim to a point gained in the contest for the freshman championship, we can contemplate with satisfaction the steps already taken toward the acquisition of two other, and more important, championships. By the game with Yale we have proved...
...hear that it is proposed to add a Latin oration to the commencement day programme. This seems a protest on the part of the faculty against the ultra radical classics, and perhaps a mild assertion of the fact that there are students at Yale who have acquired at least a speaking acquaintance with the classics. And this is by no means an unreasonable exhibition. The Sheff. seniors write theses upon chemistry, engineering, machinery, and other subjects connected with their courses; the theologies deliver embryo sermons; the lawyers amateur pleas; the academics launch on the shivering audiences grand utterances of political...
