...thieves. But is it true? Can any one justly say that student feeling at Harvard is distinctly irreligious? Are we, simply because we are Harvard students, and that is for the most part the argument advanced, hardened followers of Mammon? The writer has frequently heard that glorious gray-haired fable of the Harvard infidel, but he never met the unbeliever but once.

...many of the "facts stated," and declares them to have been the offspring of an ignorant or a prejudiced mind. As for conclusions, he who runs may read. We trust that the writer's Elijah-like horror at the "tabooing" of the discussion of morning prayers since the last glorious but fatal prayer petition will wear off with his increasing years. It is high time that some reply, however inadequate, should be offered to the contemptuous sneers and jealous animadversions of which Harvard has been made the object.
