...that any one became popular by such policy as this. In fact, I meant to imply the contrary, and I am well aware that the most unpopular men in college are those who have so far mistaken the elements of popularity as to think that toadying is one of them. I did not, however, imply that any Harvard graduate was an imbecile. I merely drew a picture of Gosling, and if anybody insists that it is the picture of an imbecile I am not responsible for that opinion...
...statements correspond with the exaggerations of the Herald. College evils are grossly misrepresented by the public prints, and society at large is not aware how much good there is in college life, especially in life at Harvard.

...only drawbacks seem to have been the incompetency of the gentleman who was substituted for Mr. White to judge of walking; and the great variety of jumping contests, which, together with the pole vaulting, were decidedly tedious. The success that Harvard's representatives won should urge our athletic men to fresh exertions, and the apparent walk-overs in the mile-run and in several other contests should instil in them the idea of training next winter for prizes easily within their grasp...
