...Hopkins House of Commons has always met with the most courteous support from the faculty of the university, the president and professors encouraging the students to join, and frequently proposing subjects for debate. On one occasion, I remember, the Professor of Political Economy handed a bill, entirely prepared, to the ministry to be introduced...

The freshmen naturally upon arriving at these smaller colleges have a wonderfully puffed up feeling, which they do not have at Harvard, where no such sugar plums are offered them, and where their favor is not so graciously sought. The awful solemnities of initiation...
