...often overhear a remark by some indignant Gentile, to the effect that students should be held strictly amenable to the common law, and prosecuted for misdeeds as any one else would be. They would like to have us identified with them in that respect, but no other. ... None will deny that there is intemperance in college. But there is no more than elsewhere, rather less. In any college town, there is less intemperance among the students than among the townsmen in proportion to numbers. In the words of an esteemed contemporary: "Just think of this a moment; push...
...attendance will undoubtedly be larger, and the whole will have more backbone and spirit. It can hardly be denied that they all need, or, at least, could stand, a great deal of improvement, and this we think could be done by adopting what is suggested.

We need not say that the voluntary lectures at present given by Professor James do not answer the purpose; for, even if all were energetic enough to attend a course which did not count, many would be prevented by conflicting recitations. Unless, therefore, there are practical difficulties...
...bracer." Jimmie believed in the proverb, "Spare the rod and spoil the child;" Charlie didn't. Jimmie thought it the best policy always to borrow, never to lend; so did Charlie. To sum up, their characters were similar in many respects and very different in others; it has often fitly been said of them that they were "clinky and didn't congeal...
