...Yale and Harvard, but what I did not clearly explain perhaps, was the additional fact that our prelates wisely hold that we should direct and control such branches in a university of our own. I don't know who the priest is who so jauntily declares that "the danger of alienating our youth from Catholicism" is not very great as the result of a Harvard or Yale course. But this I will say, that in my time I have met many Harvard men and found but one a sincere Christian. With the rest of them the pursuit of a secular...
...chances for Harvard's success. Upper class men can furnish encouragement and advice, but the work must rightly be done by '87, for the greater share of the praise is to be theirs in case they win.

It is generally believed however that the opposition would not prove so effective in accomplishing the desired result...
...pursuing a manly course, and fulfilling its highest duty by expressing what the whole student body feels? There can be no such right except that of might, and it is patent that might does not always make right. But, judging by the past, there can be no danger to apprehend that the college press will ever array itself in opposition to the college faculty except in the most extreme cases, and then it were far wiser that a most careful in quiry be made before such a measure as a threat to suspend be taken...
