...would be in the worst possible taste for them to do anything that would lower the value in the least, there is no reason why they should not only defeat some of the surrounding high schools, but also keep the Yale freshmen from their doubtless uncomfortable but nevertheless glorious place on the fence...
...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?

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. If a student of Harvard University, in the face of what...
