...fourth and last assembly took place on Wednesday evening, February 2, and was a brilliant affair. The managers have a comfortable balance left over, which will be handed down to the Junior managers, and a Subscription Assembly will be given immediately after Lent...
...college, the elective system so completely separates classmates, and so completely breaks down all class distinctions, that, except in societies and at prayers, classes can hardly be said to retain any individual existence. Instead of his classmates, the student meets in the recitation-room his fellow-students. Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors whose tastes coincide are constantly found side by side in the same elective, while classmates whose inclinations differ do not meet twenty times in their whole course. A marked proof of this was given a short time ago, at a recitation in Junior Forensics. The instructor handed...
...naive little theory of government which is developed from Utilitarianism, and pushed forward to assail open elections, would undoubtedly possess much of the popularity imputed to it if there were about it an air of greater plausibility.

A few of his friends knew of his dangerous illness, but the announcement of his death was a shock for which no one was fully prepared. Although he was in Cambridge but little over a year and a half, he was universally known and was universally liked. The death of any one at twenty-one years of age is always an unusually sad event, but the death of one so bright, so generous, so uniformly good-natured as Allen...
