...course it would be absurd to say that there are none now in Harvard to sneer at close students, and no close students whose ways deserve to be rebuked. But an acquaintance of some extent among the different classes now in college, and a knowledge of what the prominent men are doing to get and retain the esteem of their classmates, give reason to assert that the number of both these sets is becoming smaller, or, if preferred, the two sets are discovering each other's worth and adopting each other's virtues. Nowhere is this change more clearly indicated...
...there was a spirit of fault-finding prevalent among them, in consequence of the not over-sumptuous accommodations, but when they had listened to the introductory remarks of the Professor, made with his characteristic earnestness, discontent was turned into content, and all set cheerfully about their work, feeling that none ought to murmur since he who might did not.

The fraction of the community even in our very midst which recognizes a magenta, pure and simple...
...many luckless Harvard men are there who have promenaded that seemingly endless street in Springfield in the almost hopeless search for a bit of magenta ribbon! "None," "Not any," "Don't keep it," were the answers from those scores of dry-goods stores. Can any good come out of Springfield? In the best-looking store of all, in answer to inquiries, some pink ribbon was produced, some scarlet, some maroon, some purple braid! and finally, - last hair which broke, etc., - "Would n't some of this red tape do?" Were we the victims of a prodigious joke? We made...
