They apostrophize the "President, Treasurer, or Proctor of this institution," who may chance to read their "feeble attempt to describe the incompetency of the servants" who are forced upon them by the hard-hearted official...

Harvard, in common with many other colleges, considering the final and all important question to be the purpose rather than the practicability of these contests, naturally refused to send delegates to a convention designed to carry out an idea that the callers of the convention refused to discuss. One of New England's ablest writers had already stated the more salient advantages of such contests, and had failed to convince any large body of our students. We do not pretend...
