...been rather the fashion for the last few years, beginning prominently with an oration by Mr. Adams, if we remember rightly, to blame Harvard for not giving enough instruction in writing. People who saw in the Catalogue what seemed a very small number of themes and forensics prescribed, would hastily conclude that Harvard offered no other opportunities for training in writing. To show that this conclusion is unfair may justify us as undergraduates in defending our Alma Mater against an accusation in which some of our College rulers have joined; and as visiting committees of the Overseers have just been...

Besides, though they are poor...
...that a course on law would be as instructive and useful as on any subject, a knowledge of which is requisite for general culture. At Dartmouth there is a course of lectures on law delivered to the academic students. They do not go into the subject deeply, but enough to read the frequent law terms which occur in articles, newspapers, and books with more intelligence, and to learn in a short time what could only be acquired by a chance explanation in conversation or in years of general reading...
