...pursue this method with advantage, but it seems to be unnecessary to do so when we come to discuss an author whose life and actions were of such shameless degradation that they should be referred to only in order to subject them to the severest condemnation. With all due regard to French Realism, I can scarcely believe that for two hundred students to listen to a detailed account of such a life, unless it be delivered in order that its hideousness be shown, is either profitable or consistent with the high tone of this college...
...majority are doing their work in a definite way as a means of reaching a definite end. Many are devoting their time to the study of political economy and history with the expressed determination of fitting themselves for a political career in the future. Others are paying less regard to these studies, yet still give to them such attention as they consider necessary for the proper performance, later in life, of the functions of citizenship.

...With regard to Mr. Ferris I should say that the university could certainly find a man who would fill the position of instructor in sparring with greater credit to all concerned. I do not think that it is enough that such an instructor should act as your correspondent of Wednesday suggests "in a fair and gentlemanly manner" in his classes. The man who take the position of a paid instructor of Harvard University has a reputation beside his own to maintain, and that, as yet, Mr. Ferris has shown no signs that he is capable of doing...
