...leave three or more for the remaining rooms. To run these nine hundred lights would require one large dynamo or several smaller ones, which would cost six thousand dollars. To drive these there would be necessary a seventy-five horse power steam engine, which, with the boiler-house, et cetera, would cost about ten thousand dollars. Part of this expense might not be necessary, as the university already possesses two small engines near the Jefferson Laboratory, which could be used for the purpose. Leaving these out of the question, for though they would of course, reduce the initial expense, they...
...takes; what it can destroy, it destroys; what does not suit its degraded taste it very soon tones down to that taste by its own peculiar processes. And so property is stolen, doors are marred and smeared hallways are - to put it mildly - littered, lights are turned out, et cetera, et cetera. In a word, this "objectionable element" is trying to place the red flannel banner of its famous legions, which has waved so triumphantly over the college grounds, on every dormitory in the yard.

In many cases the beauties or advantages of the model, if there be any, are not considered...
...sort,)-dark hints of fraudulent returns at Memorial, exorbitant charges, special meetings, and all that, which anywhere else would call for investigation by the citizens' association, at least. But what do these Harvard men do? Do they hold a mass-meeting, and have speeches and resolutions and reports, et cetera? No, indeed! On the contrary they tamely submit; they leave Memorial in abject fear, and deliver over its fair precincts into the hands of the tyrants? This is the reward of our efforts. After all my letters to the papers calling for justice and reform in such eloquent and powerful...
