...course of study in the college proper and the many special schools that make-up the University is the most democratic of educational institutions: and the fact that there are some 1,600 students in the academic department of College proper alone, working their way through, unaided or with help from the College and that $300 is deemed a sufficient scholarship fund, should be proof that the expense of a course at Harvard cannot be greater than at any other of the large colleges and universities. Wealth secures to its possessor anywhere luxuries and the means of indulgence and dissipation...
...youth who gave the name of Robert McGinnis, is circulating through Cambridge, taking subscriptions for periodicals in order (as he asserts), to help him in a "Yale scholarship contest."

It is not our belief that any enthusiasm has been lost in this matter. It is simply dormant...
Nothing could be more coldly brutal than to wish a friend doomed to spend Thanksgiving away from a home, a pleasant day, as you speed by him, suitcase in hand. Which proves that nothing can quite take the place of Thanksgiving at home. It is to help relieve the day of its cheerlessness for those who must stay at College that the Thanksgiving evening gathering at Phillips Brooks House was devised. Its essential spirit is informality and agreeable fellowship, for which Thanksgiving time has come to stand. It is a place where men can go to meet their comrades...
