Committee will go aloft to explain from a convenient half-hitch in the rat-lines why the Picnic is not to be held conjointly with the Seniors of the Emerson School of Oratory at Fresh Pond, as the Monthly advocates...
This thoroughgoing wholesomeness has rightly been made much of in the present revival: and the genuineness and sincerity of the play become doubly real. Clem, the tavern apprentice, is a gleefully "fresh" youngster, and gleefully done, without being overdone, by Mr. Randall--which is matter for praise.

In the short article championing the university ideal for Harvard, Mr. Gregg likewise...
...professors and instructors who follow this plan, but the practice is by no means universal. If it were, we should no longer be frequently forced to remain an hour in a class room containing practically no oxygen, but at least one cold-blooded individual with a strong aversion for fresh air and an inveterate habit of shutting windows...
