...that many of us, instead of returning in the fall rested, and braced for a year's work, find hard study even more irksome than before? Is it not because, instead of seeking change and novelty during the vacation, we live very much the same kind of life, the zest and tonic of a little study being removed? The student who spends his time entirely among our fashionable resorts, loafing, and playing the gallant to the same ever-present fair ones that throng our assembly-rooms and concert halls in the winter, becomes, through long nursing of his ennui, even...
...closing lines he proposes to stick by her to the bitter end. We can wish the gentleman nothing better than to live to witness the calamities and retributions he prophesies (fire and brimstone being among the least of these), because in that case he would be likely to attain to an exceedingly verdant...
...much doubt whether that success, as the Review claims, "will have accomplished a reform which is needed at other institutions of learning as well as our own."

The next year we dwelt in greater...
Every robbery and defalcation, from that of the clerk who took the money from the letters in the Post-Office to the more recent case of the Albany cashier, was committed for the selfish purpose of living better. The former bought a house for his parents; the others took what did not belong to them for purposes of rash speculation, or to cover debts. This is the old story over again, - each embezzler meaning to restore the funds, but none doing so. Making haste to be rich, the dishonest inclination to live beyond one's means, to equal or outshine...
