...will of the late Ezekiel Price Greenleaf, which we publish on our first page, must be a source of extreme congratulation to all who feel an interest in Harvard's material welfare. We are all to reap the benefits from the wealth of a man which was not spent selfishly during his lifetime, but which has been saved up for the advantage of our university. It is the sacrifice which was made as much as the munificence of the gift, which should be remembered now and hereafter...

Disrespect for religious things can only work ruin in our own characters. No nation has prospered that has cast off the worship...
...reconcile the doctrine of atonement with this doctrine of retribution. Simply, that although God may freely forgive us he cannot take away the consequences of any of our misdeeds. The worst of our sowing is that others must reap with us. We bring evil consequences upon the innocent.
