...consequence of lack of financial support, Harvard would be forced to withdraw from the contest on the Thames! We are sure that there are men in the University who have not subscribed a cent towards the expenses of the crew. Will not some feeling of pride, or of shame, stir these men and prompt them to give as much as they can afford for this good cause? There is a very large sum wanted, we grant. But if every man in the University were to give something-more or less, according to his means-a large enough sum would...

In a year from now the management of the paper must fall upon the shoulders of the present sophomore class, and two men are insufficient to sustain the weight.

It was then that the real force of public opinion was felt. No man dared to cheat. Each man felt that the shame would be tenfold greater than if he should be caught cheating under the eye of a proctor. The element of daring, of dull satisfaction at the cunning evasion of the sharp glance of a policeman was entirely taken away. There was instead a feeling of pride that the instructor...
