...took Harvard poetry as his model. Why, take but our little Callanan Courant, with its troop of girls bubbling with merry verses of pleasure and gayety, or flowing at times with the easy pensiveness of that semi philosophical leisure that gives an attractive weirdness to a commonplace sentiment, or take the Ann Arbor Chronicle, with its keen appreciation of the humorous in verse, with its true, natural unforced sentiment, with its unborrowed thought, and if Harvard can show any productions excelling these in average she will do well.

...living here, Harvard still has the priceless advantage of being the oldest seat of learning in the country. She has the largest and most famous body of alumni. Then in common with Yale and all the older colleges, she has gathered about her name a mass of tradition and sentiment which will ever charm the imagination, and waken the enthusiasm of her students. Furthermore, Harvard has inherited from the past not only these blessings, but she has acquired that tone of broad culture which time alone can give. In her the lapse of years has done so much to remove...
