Another circumstance that does not lead to general harmony is the existence of so many personal enmities among the men; you cannot find any one who does not detest two or three of his classmates. Beck said something slighting of Holworthy; it was reported to Holworthy by some of those obliging men who are never wanting in such good offices, and so they don't speak, and lose no occasion of depreciating each other. Ah, my dear Freshmen, keep your mouths shut, if you want to get along at this college! Doggy got the presidency...
...there does not pretend to be, any instruction in this department. All that the instructor does is to assign a mark to each forensic and hand it back to the writer, giving in the class an abstract of what was written on each of the subjects.

And yet Harvard will stand and dicker with institutions having...
