That "the manliness evident in all departments of college life and the maturity of Harvard men are strong evidences that the vast majority of students would utterly scorn to make use of unfair means to gain an end which is valuable only so far as it is genuine." That this practice, however, which is both "conduct unbecoming a gentleman" and a crime in no degree of less guilt that lying or cheating to gain profit or to defraud another of his property, does prevail to a certain extent in Harvard, as well as in other colleges...

And in so far as it broadened, would improve one of our most popular sports...
...show such an interest in supporting this reading-room, that the college authorities in course of time would be induced to provide one for us, as, is done at other colleges; but if only ten per cent of the students care about one, that happy day will probably be far distant. Will not thirty or more men show their interest by joining the reading-room at once, and paying their subscriptions at the Co-operative store...
