...which this reform can be practically secured for Harvard. On the contrary, it seems as though every year the necessary expenses of students go on increasing. That something will have to be done to remedy this evil before long is more or less apparent to all, although, we fear, too slightly appreciated by any except members of the university itself. That the students themselves appreciate it is evident from the very noticeable efforts of theirs of late years towards securing cheaper living, and especially recently by their movement for cooperation.

If we were to quote certain passages from this book credited to their true authors, we fear we should be held for high treason; for what a ludicrous lowering of dignities there would be! If it were to be known that an overseer of Harvard once penned Horatian stanzas of the following sort, where would all authority flee...
