...only suggestions as to food that I have to offer are these: that fish form the fundamental dish in all divisions; that hash be strictly prohibited, since, owing to its strangely composite nature, it cannot but have a demoralizing effect; that antidotes to poisons be placed in the food of men who take chemistry; that Freshmen be fed on a separate course adapted to their tender years...
...arrange games with several of the colleges of the Association, we have at last succeeded in arranging a game with Yale by means of a compromise between the two sets of rules. It is clear to every one that rules resulting from such concessions as have to be made cannot be entirely satisfactory. Though much ingenuity was shown by the delegates at Springfield, yet there remain many points, trivial as they may seem at first, which need explanation and remedying.

The newspaper is the doctor rather than the sculptor, and must sternly set itself to dissect, amputate, and prune away the evils of society, and cannot stop to weep maudlin tears over petty virtues, or to create third-rate literature. Let us not then seek to find in the Nation what does not belong there. But we cannot fail to find in its writings a vigor and robustness of thought, a loftiness of aim, that is bred...
