...reputation as a scholar was not confined to Harvard alone; for in 1895 he was elected honorary member of Phi Beta Kappa, and the following year received the degree of LL.D. from Hobart College. He travelled extensively, and in 1904 lectured on Greek Literary Criticism at the Summer School of the University of California. He also published many works, including a Latin grammar and many translations of Greek and Latin authors. His latest works are "Addresses and Essays," and "A Bibliography of Persius." Just before his death, he gave his whole collection of books on the latter subject, consisting...
...electing to itself a member primarily a scholar, the Student Council has taken one step in the right direction. If this widening of horizon means that the Council intends to broaden the scope of its activity, it may become really useful to the undergraduates. At present, however, so far as the body of the undergraduates knows, it might just as well have gone out of existence.

...have heard much recently of sanity in athletics, of growing respect for the scholar, and of contempt for the loafer. It is impossible to measure exactly the growth of such public opinion, if it exists. We are still some way from the time when the "H" of a major team and a Phi Beta Kappa key will be esteemed of equal value. But the very indifference which attends the ending of the free elective system is evidence that such an opinion is being formed. In the good old days when Harvard was but a College, all men of necessity were...
