Nowhere is the truth of Professor Wright's candid statement more obvious than at Harvard. There is really no chance here for a student to become thoroughly acquainted with the sum of Greek and Latin literature before graduation. During the first two years, as is right, he is confined to a minute study of a limited number of works with due deference to grammar. But during the last two years, instead of having an opportunity to widen his personal knowledge of Greek plays or of Latin poetry, he is obliged to devote his energies to text criticism and details...
...current number of the Advocate which appeared yesterday, is much better than those immediately preceding it. The editorial department in particular is good. The management of the finances of the varions athletic organizations is criticised in a candid, and on the whole, just manner, and the reforms suggested are both necessary and timely. The matter of the proposed three-cornered freshman race has been already pretty thoroughly discussed, so the editorial on that subject does little more than sum up the argument in a forcible way. The old subject of the formation of a second sophomore society is again brought...

The editorial on the founding of Clark university is written in the same spirit of contempt. A candid statement of the objections to a new university, which are undoubtedly many and strong, would have much more force, and would not be as liable to be misunderstood...
This pamphlet, forming No. LVIII of the "Question of the lay" series, is a reprint of an article which appeared in the October number of the Harvard Monthly. It is a candid discussion of American politics from the standpoint of an independent. The evils of our present system are clearly set forth, especially the ineffectiveness of our legislative bodies and the danger of a partisan civil service. Recognizing the necessity of organization, Mr. Storey deplores the supremacy of the party spirit now so predominant in politics. He suggests as a substitute the organization of local clubs for the purpose...
...regret very much that we are not allowed to published a detailed report of Mr. Walcott's liberal, candid, and straightforward explanation of the reasons of the Board of Overseers in making the recent recommendations. The students owe him a debt of gratitude for the way in which he made plain that in almost every respect the votes of the Overseers are not hostile to the broadest, highest, and most progressive aim of Harvard, but that they will serve to establish on a firmer basis the present policy of college government...
