When the same vandal influence which assailed religion in the case or the chaplainship is seen to be at work to undermine social feeling by attacking its expression, one may well wish that his lot had been cast in that golden age (problematical, to be sure, even in Homer's time) when a warrior raised with ease a stone that in after times was to require the strength of four of the fast degenerating species...
...make the change; so Harvard and Yale must yield to the necessities of the others. Harvard and Yale, again, wish to row with coxswains in eight-oar boats; but so far is such a proposal from being acceptable, that some delegates came to the late convention wishing even for four-oars. Yet, since Harvard began the Association, she must now forego her wishes; and although of enormous resources compared with some of her fellow colleges, she must descend to their level, and acquiesce in the desires of a college of a hundred and fifty men all told. And this objection...

...could get good, plain food, simply but well cooked, which would be all that could be expected of an arrangement to allow us to economize without danger to our health. In point of fact, I believe the price has averaged perhaps thirty or fifty cents above the minimum, yet even now I think it is an open question whether the grade of food is high enough for men who are leading a sedentary life. I do not intend to trespass on the columns of the Crimson with any detailed complaints, for an opportunity is now given to complain immediately...
