...standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful."

The sin of the scorner is, however, much more insidious, deceitful and benumbing than that of the ungodly man.

It they wish to reduce Harvard University to the level of a boarding school and treat the students as mere striplings, well and good; but we are inclined to think the boarding school would scarcely be as well attended as the liberal university. To be consistent, they should return to the old system of locking the doors of the dormitories...
