...first article is given that extravagant view of the case which is often entertained by members of the smaller and distant colleges, who, confident in the piety of their own white-chokered Faculties, and a little puffed up, perhaps, by an unusually successful prayer-meeting, exclaim with a pious shudder at the irreligion of Harvard. The second article in the Magenta is a comforting statement of our religious tendencies, chiefly resting for support upon the societies in College which represent the various denominations. Without attempting to discuss the value of such testimony, it may be mentioned that...
...hearing one of its shining lights assert, in debate upon the Modoc war, that the only way for our government to deal with the wary red man was to pursue a similar course to that adopted by William Tell in his Treatment of the Pennsylvania Indians.

We should feel proud that our reputation is so well sustained abroad...
...conspiracy is hatched; in cold blood they often settle on the best plan of working the religious ruin of some fellow-student, and ruthlessly execute it. All of us are familiar with the method of a young man's ruin. We know the lad who entered college a member of one of the strictest churches, well fortified by parental and pastoral advice. For a time all went well with him, and, having talent, he grew in culture and influence. At last, however, his strength failed, and he went down, carrying with him a host of less able...
