...loyal friend, a gracious enemy. In his presence conversation is rarely trivial and never low. He is not all things to all men; he is the same thing to all men, a gentleman and a scholar. If a Greek piano-tuner visited his house professionally, Mr. Baker would learn all about the insides of a piano and the piano-tuner would hear about Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides...

...Monday mornings are liable to extreme neglect. The modifications, however, which are being made in the lecture system at Harvard must necessarily make some change in the point of view of both undergraduate and dean. Where lectures are cut short six weeks, the undergraduate is more likely to learn all he can through lectures before being thrown on the more difficult, if more scholarly, road of his own resources during a reading period.
