...your confidence and sympathy. Follow the leading of your own enlightened conscience by letting no cumulative force of example or persuasio turn you one hair's breadth from what you regard as your duty; by making your own way through college a right line, a straight line in the direct way from earth to heaven. Make your uttered profession whenever your silence would mean assent or indifference. Show your colors and stand by them but do not parade them out of season.

If our college recognized this fact more plainly, we should not now have to urge its more loyal support to the association...

The idea may seem hardly credible, yet the fact is that the books are disappearing. Harvard students are given more privileges and advantages in the use of the libraries than any other set of men we know of. It is very sure that the authorities will deprive us of these privileges, if student sentiment is not strong enough to prevent wholesale stealing of the books...
