President Lowell explained the present high standing of the Law School as due to the fact that its students are drawn from all parts of the United States and when they leave help to centralize the law of the country by this common bond. The good relations between Faculty and students and the membership in clubs of men who are not from one section of the country aid in producing this result...
Those who delight in comparisons will find little to choose between private and preparatory school records in the list. St. Mark's and the Central High School of Springfield are practically tied for first place; and throughout honors are about evenly divided between the two kinds of schools. The Springfield school has been awarded the Phi Beta Kappa trophy; but others, notably St. Mark's are very close, and effort will have to be made to retain it. It is highly desirable that schools which have made a good showing should conscientiously "go out" to win the trophy next year...

...true that he won neither great wealth nor high office, and that in his own commonwealth he saw many win both who were in no way superior to him in ability or character, like his arch-enemy Benjamin F. Butler, but 'the wise years decide.' Weighed in the true scales could any fortune, however large, or any office, however high, could anything that he won for himself outbalance the unselfish service which he rendered to others? Is self-sacrifice failure? Shall we measure success by what a man gets, or by what he gives? Shall we forget the immortal words...
