...book is well worth the public reading?" Pray heavens, sir critic, they may read it to better advantage than thee. But tell me, was there not something asinine in that last roar? Did not the patronizing lion show his ears? I hesitate - perhaps there is slight ground for such rude talk - but our trans-Atlantic cousin has blundered elsewhere. May we ask of him, with all deference, in the future to leave American books alone, or to examine their contents more carefully. Who knows but that he might correct certain errors and find more edification and less amusement. Still...
...freedom and, to use a well understood term, of broadness that would not be tolerated in Harvard journalism. We could readily give illustrations of this fact, but it would be useless; all who have read co-educational college papers must have noticed it. We do not wish to be rude, but with all due respect for girls who seek an education equal to that furnished their more privileged brothers, we say bluntly to the doctor of divinity that we do not believe co-education is the good that its advocates claim...

...meeting so many students. Of course you're dying to hear about the students. Well, they're perfectly horrid. They stare at one dreadfully. Of course I don't mind a slight glance of admiration, un coup d'oeil en passant, but a continued stare, though flattering, is very rude indeed. I met some very, very nice college men at a german, though, - they were extremely dignified. Some of them told me all about how they spend their time, and I think Harvard life must be perfectly delightful. One very pale man went home early. My cousin said...
