...which the writer of the theme had spelt the name wrong. I have no doubt that a low mark will be the result of such a mistake. Now why should we countenance the mistake of persons who ought to know better in this instance? Surely they cannot have read or seen a reprint of the first folio of 1623, for there this name as in most good authors is spelt correctly. - "Shakespeare...
...been suggested. This comparison of the styles of others, and possibly of better writers than oneself might be obtained by distributing the themes in the same manner as at present. Whoever is at all interested in his work in English would not grudge the time necessary to read the theme as it would take little more than five minutes. He would then be spared the trouble of writing a criticism which inevitably takes up more than the half hour which we were assured would be sufficient, provided the work is done conscientiously.

Any Harvard student who is willing to subscribe to a declaration that his college is a hot-bed of incipient nihilism, scepticism, "lying," and irreligion...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - I would like to inquire how long the subject of morning prayers has been "tabooed," and why you consider that one is prohibited from speaking of it. Also I wish that the author of your editorial of Saturday would read over once more, carefully, - curbing his excitement as much as possible, - the article in the Nation that so much aroused his anger. If he will do so, it seems to me that he cannot fail to see that he has grossly misrepresented the views therein expressed. And if he thinks it over a little, it seems...
