...pecuniary benefit to him whatever, direct or indirect." When we see a man devoting nearly his whole time to the oar and indulging in expensive habits, we know that he cannot keep within the letter of the amateur law, unless he has a fixed income; and if we happen to know that he has no property which yields an income, the conclusion is irresistible that he is pecuniarily benefited, directly or indirectly, by continuing a member of the club. And when we see an athlete doing pretty much the same thing on the cinder path, the conviction grows upon...
...them purchase or level a few more acres of ground anywhere near the college and they will find that the desired expansion will take place at once. By this resolution the standard which Harvard is to maintain in the future will be decidedly lowered.

...this criticism, why should Harvard not be copied by other colleges? We are always ready, here at Cambridge, to copy anything that seems worthy of imitation, no matter what its source, and we fail to understand why Yale should be debarred the privilege of following our example if we happen to have any institutions which surpass theirs in efficiency. This intermeddling with college affairs by papers of the class to which the Palladium belongs, can be productive of no good to college interests, and should be frowned own by undergraduate opinion everywhere...
