...lifts her skirts away from the contamination of the North End." Had the writer himself ever approached the North End, he would not thus have exposed his ingnorance. In the houses of the poor in this district, Harvard students seek out in person the objects of their charity and labor to raise them to a higher life. It is safe to say that in no other college is there such effective organization of charitable and philanthropic work.

There are those that have never known anything but lives of toil and sacrifice for the results they have; those to whom labor and poverty cannot be disgraceful because these are the central facts of their lives. I say we are all aware of this state of affairs: but I doubt if in the memory of many...
...most unwise policy to encourage among college students the resort to methods of money earning which rank so low in the scale of honorable employment. The theory that all self-supporting labor is honorable is here in danger of being too widely applied. There are certain forms of menial service to which it is not well for a self-respecting man to become habituated, even if such a one can. Among them the waiting in Memorial Hall may safely be classed...
