But we do think that a petition, couched in plain but respectful terms and signed by the majority of men in college, might have weight with the faculty.

The frog envied the size of the ox, and though that by puffing himself full of air he might become his equal. And so we see balloon-like universities springing up around us on all sides with no foundation but a little money and a big name...
