Taxation is no more an evil than any other desirable form of expenditure, for taxes represent the investment of a certain part of the capital of a state.

In these days Harvard is being sufficiently attacked on almost every side for a host of imaginary evils which, it is declared, exist within her walls.

Therefore it is, that the correspondent is culpable of gross disloyalty to his college, first-if he be sincere-in compiling...
