...signs of "religious decadence" at Harvard, and I have never said that I did. Nor do I think that Harvard "is a hot-bed of incipient nihilism, scepticism, lying and irreligion." What I do say and think is this. Compulsory prayers are a positive injury to the religious sentiment of the college. They are a mockery of religion held continually before our eyes. They create disrespect for religion and furnish the readiest and most fertile subject for the expression of that disrespect. I do not say that irreligion is any more prevalent at Harvard than elsewhere, but I do believe...
...gain admission to the league on terms of equality, which, by the way, is out of the question. And so the plan has been broached that a new base-ball league be formed, to include Dartmouth, Amherst, Brown and Williams. We know already that there is a strong sentiment in favor of this move in Dartmouth and Amherst, and have little doubt but it would be well received by Brown also.

Let the proctors be removed from examination rooms, make every man responsible to himself and college for honesty in examinations, let college sentiment be strongly impressed on everyone as to what honesty means, and then every cribber will feel that...
...many years it has been Harvard's boast that she was free from hazing and rushes, but now to the disgrace of '88 and '89, the former especially, this good record of former years has been broken. We feel that we but voice the sentiment of the majority of Harvard men when we say that the performance of last night was small, contemptible, boyish and un-Harvard like in the extreme, and deserves the censure of the earnest men of all classes...
