...played a part almost manual in laying the foundation of the great country in which we live; but those days are past. The state has successively passed through the ordeals of creation and salvation, in the true old orthodox way; fortunes have accumulated; and there are hundreds of men among us now, who, fully impressed with the sense of their social importance and financial security, are determined to uphold their position in a manner that would be acknowledged by the most exacting to be truly gentlemanly...
...idea is occasionally started among the students that some trouble might be saved to the subscribers of the Crimson by having the paper left at the College rooms on the evening of publication. We have offered before to do this, but whether subscribers have feared to lose papers left at the door, or have been too indolent to send in their names, nothing has resulted.

...friends, as striking a success as the first had been, and the lists for the coming year were as crowded as ever. But the pupils at Penikese come from a poorly paid class. However grateful for the privilege of studying at a seaside school of natural history, very few among them can afford to contribute even a small sum toward its support. On the other hand, the Professors, disinterested as they have shown themselves, can hardly continue year after year to give up their summer months, without any adequate remuneration, to this undertaking...
