...this raises hopes which no man can innocently enjoy. But this weather is so "sloppy" that perhaps even Lampy can be forgiven if he will cease to attempt henceforth to illumine his columns with that talismanic word, the CRIMSON. Of course the Lampoon cannot appreciate the blessings of Harvard morality and religion. But a too candid acknowledgement of a want of moral stamina and cerebral perception is often laboriously tiresome. We trust that our religious editorials will now do a great work. We have every reason to hope this, for at least even Lampy has been led to moralize, weakly...
...students who was highly exhilarated periodically, solaced himself by grasping the supporting straps and swinging his feet up against the roof of the car. This simple amusement pleased us all, but one old lady remarked that she guessed that no young man in such a state could be very moral. Whether any exact definition of morality could be found in Harvard undergraduate ethics is a matter of grave doubt. Some think that morality taboes smoking, drinking, gambling, and the like.

...Moral sentiment is of very slow growth." To this aphorism there are few exceptions.

He spoke with great earnestness in respect to the reform as having a moral element, as being of no less importance than the old anti-slavery contest, in some aspects, perhaps, even of greater consequence than that. When he spoke in this way in regard to the moral principle involved in civil service...
...What can be done in solution of the Social Problem?" There is the old school of political economy which considers that the so-called natural laws of labor and capital are not to be controlled by human agency. The new or ethical school considers political economy an ethical and moral science. The ground we should take is one between these two. Sympathy, years of agitation, legislature have been the factors in lightening the load of evils with which the workingman is overburdened. The spirit of the "laisser faire" economist is that it is useless to work for a better condition...
