...come to the notice of your committee of men in the class who have openly stated that they would not be in Cambridge on Class Day; but, nevertheless, intended to buy their package of tickets in order to speculate on them.

An earnest opponent of Mr. Blaine, he went to Chicago avowedly to oppose that gentleman's methods and personality, and as the champion of reform and pure government.
