...experiences at Harvard and of such Harvard customs and institutions as will, in his estimation, interest his friends at Andover. It is difficult to find either lunacy or vicious mindedness in such a course; and further, I cannot see what difference it would make in anyone's belief whether he used his true name or an assumed one.
