...fitting then, as we have said above, that Graduates' Day should end our celebration, and the greatest zest and energy will mark to-day. There is no anti-climax. The Law School has done her share, the Undergraduates on Saturday showed themselves worthy of the name of men; yesterday all joined in obedience to their religious instinct, but to-day we are to see a feeling of brotherhood and cordiality rule supreme throughout the Harvard domain. Hearty hand-shaking on every side, memories that have slept during many years of work and thought, will be brought once more vividly before...
...certain faith and of a certain order, that faith conceived of as the final expression of the truth of God; that order accepted as the appointed means for men's salvation to create certain types of experience, to protect an acknowledged system of church discipline - this was the end for which the college was established. Learning was valued, but it was valued for this end. Never was there a system more clearly conceived, more definitely limited, than that New England Puritanism.

Woodman led off with a run which did not last very long and Faulkner followed it with another, but the ball was lost to Wesleyan. Wesleyan kicked the ball up the field into Sears' hands. A long pass gave Porter a chance...
...goes by in a great car, seated at his old oaken desk and reading his ponderous tome as quietly and attentively as he did three hundred years ago; and Melancthon, with his robes about him, is expounding some knotty point of doctrine to the grave monk beside him. The end of the sixteenth century finds the gay court at its gayest. There are splendid cars with Ceres, Bacchus, Venus, sitting on them, while vineyard laborers, with grape-laden baskets, dance about them. Then comes Sileuns, reeling from his ass and surrounded by a fantastic bevy of mymphs satyrs, demons, goblins...
