...almost needless to recall to mind that the expenses of the Nine are paid, in a great measure, by the students, and that the trouble and unavoidable annoyance which the players undergo are assumed voluntarily, and are repaid, presumably, by the pleasure of success, and the applause and gratitude of the students at large. The subscribers to the Ball Club, when they give the two dollars to the Titan who acts as tax-collector for the Nine, console themselves, almost invariably, with the reflection that they will see, at any rate, well-contested games, and, in all probability, many victories...
...this letter it is no longer of instruction that I wish to speak to you, but of what, in my opinion, is of still greater importance, namely, education. The object of the first is only to develop mind, but the latter has a larger and higher aim, - it has to do with soul.

...valuable material is of greater advantage than brilliancy trusting to inspiration. The only hope of ever attaining success in law is founded on a broad liberal training and education, which should include a knowledge not only of law, but "something of everything," not for the training alone of the mind, but for practical use. A thorough knowledge of history, both social and political, of different countries, moral science, and business in every form, - such are a few of the departments necessary for a lawyer to be acquainted with. To those distrusting their ability to make a success...
