...Enough has now been quoted to show the reader the general drift of the article. The writer goes on to give heart-rending accounts of the experiences of Messrs. Taylor of Harvard, Driscoll of Williams, Francis of Columbia, and several other unfortunates. He concludes with a peroration replete with high moral sentiments, and attaches to the argument a kind of "preventer backstay" in the following quotation from Scripture: "The Lord delighteth not in the strength of the horse, and taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man."

We should imagine that such gentlemen would have the sense to choose a time more fitting than that during the hours of meals to pay their visits to Memorial Hall...

The students of Dartmouth evidently imagine that the word of the ordinary college student is as good as gold. It may be - if you wait long enough. But what with limited allowances and hard times, they may consider themselves lucky if the crew is not obliged to sell their boat to pay their debts...
