But why cannot we have both the outer doors open at recitation-time? The pushing and crowding and frequent collisions which occur every hour are anything but pleasant. To be sure, those who are going in never hurry; but the numbers of those who are eager to get out keep many waiting and cause great confusion.

...must meet the obvious objection that wealthy young men might be induced to break away from the temptations to idleness which beset them, and succeed in winning money which they do not need. Not to mention the probable supposition that in such cases the emolument would in some way be restored to the college, it is confidently replied that, any stimulus to self-control and industry which may chance to reach the inheritors of wealth it is for the interest of the community to bestow.
