...however, sometimes adjudged for what seem to the majority of the students but trifles. I do not doubt that each one can think of examples in his own class where this has happened. Suspension under the best circumstances is open to the charge of injustice. It is hard to say that a man shall be deprived of all instruction by the College for three or six months for a mere technicality; because he failed to attend the requisite number of prayers, because he was absent a certain number of times from church without an excuse, because perhaps he was seen...
...placed in a position where earnestness is almost indispensable to success, and indifference a thing to be fought against, instead of cherished. This estimate of the value of earnestness is not exactly new; it certainly must have occurred to Noah when he set about building the ark, - to say nothing of Adam or the pre-Adamite, - and it has been handed down to us in a great many old adages, which are often neglected just because they are so old and tiresome...

Must one be compelled to say, "Have you seen the man who makes my fire, blacks my boots, brings up the water, steals the coal, upsets the inkbottle, and fuddles himself before 12 M.?" No; it is too much. Let some distinctive name be chosen at once, and, whatever be its origin, be it Greek, Latin, French, German, Anglo-Saxon, or a hybrid, let it, Oh, in the name of justice, let it be opprobrious...
