...taken its Great Leap Forward. Under President Eliot the University had clearly assumed the status of a national school; the celebrities, more often than in the Civil War era, actually taught courses. This period was especially a golden age for the philosophy department. At one time James, Josiah Royce, George Santayana, George Herbert Palmer, and Hugo Munsterberg all held appointments.

...freshman refused to obey the instructions of a tutor and was accordingly punished by the administration. His classmates came to his rescue, assembled under Rebellion Elm, and stirred rioting which interrupted classes for two months. Tutors' windows and furniture were smashed, torpedoes were sailed through the Chapel, President Josiah Quincy was hanged in effigy, and explosions violated the virtuous Yard.

...never have submitted You Can Always Tell a Harvard Man to a publisher. I would have kept it within the privacy of my own family. And if I had submitted the book (and by God I wouldn't!) I would have disguised the fact by contriving a pseudonym (yes, Josiah is my real name but my friends call me Lee). Because let's face it: Bissell's book is as outrageously written as the scrawlings in the Lamont Library johns. Got that, you guys...
