...spread farther the influence of the College and make its field of usefulness broader. Though animated by the same purpose, they have sought their end in different ways. Some have founded scholarships, some have given direct aid, and some have exerted their influence towards giving high school men an idea of the nature and the advantages of Harvard. The value of this national movement cannot be overestimated, and it is one of the greatest tributes that the graduates can pay to the College...

The columns of all the papers are gaping open to any member of the University burdened with a new idea, or anything worth saying; but for some reason, we blush to suggest laziness, extraordinarily few articles are forthcoming, except from those who have to "fill" the papers for the press...
