...democracy is in crying need of leaders; and no one is fit to command who has not had his preliminary discipline in obedience and co-operation. It is said that obedience weakens the character; but that is true only if it is blind and unwilling. Look at Switzerland.

...Lane '81, president of the Memorial Society, opened last night's meeting in Smith Halls by stating his belief that although we should all look ahead, yet it is sometimes good to turn back to "the day before yesterday."

We trust that the students body will become representative of the nation even more than it is now, and we hope that Harvard will have not only the admiration, but the affection of her sister universities. At my inauguration President Hadley referred to me as the President of our greatest University, which...
Those of us who leave College this year look back with a faint smile, a smile even of regret, upon that sad period when large sums of money were extracted from scanty pockebooks, when active committees vied with one another in pursuing the poverty-stricken students, when the whole college glowed with enthusiasm over the vision of a new gymnasium...
