...embodied the best method of acting directly on college opinion; that it would stimulate a healthy sentiment which would blot out cribbing by making it unpopular; and that the students at large when thoroughly conversant with the case would give the plan earnest support. A few agreed in the general force of these arguments, but desired to place a specially and carefully selected jury of students in the conference committee in these trials, judging the latter body ill adopted to the ends of a jury. Several wholly disagreed with the main plan of a trial by students, holding that college...
...Annual Report President Eliot has made a very forcible answer to those who claim that the elective system allows men so to specialize their work that they lose "the general cultivation and openness of mind which may reasonably be expected in educated men."

Prayer is held to be a matter between a man and his God, not between a man and the college authorities. Nevertheless, a course in chapel...
...action tending to make this inadequacy greater is censurable. Men in college, possessing a spirit of good sense and genuine humanity, would welcome some rules at the gymnasium to limit the time for using a bath-room. But better than rules, however strenuously enforced, would be the general effort of those, who go to the gymnasium, to make the accommodations as widely useful as possible. We appeal to the gymnasium authorities for the rules, and to members of the college for the effort...
