Of course there are many whose views on the reform are doubtful or who are professedly opposed to it; but it should be the aim of others to convert such opponents to their own faith. At Harvard especially, where so great an interest is taken in all historical and economic studies, the formation of such an association would seem especially advisable and its prospects for success particularly bright. Participation in practical politics is certainly the duty of all educated men, and in this matter especially...

The value of all objects and subjects depend on the harmony of saving properties of the Deity for powers and their value is in their power...
...childish and badly taken. He makes nothing but general statements, which are in the power of any individual to make in support of any charge, however ludicrous. What right for instance has he to assume that the men who draw for rooms do not act in good faith? Does he suppose that every man is willing to perjure himself with the readiness with which he seems to be so familiar...
