Moreover, Mr. Irving has a generous fund of personal experience from which he can draw to illustrate...
...lock the door, or he may have the attendance taken at the end of the hour instead of at the beginning, or he may stop his lecture and ask embarrassing questions. In short, Harvard College may be turned into a reform school for inculcating civility and decency of manner. This, of course, will never be done and if the students persist in this course of dishonor probably the faculty will make no regulation to stop it. Yet what sort of business is this for college men? How much strength of character, how much manliness, does such action show? None...
