...earnestness and deep sincerity which marked the speech of Mr. Pfeiffer, particularly in that portion which treated the question of voluntary prayers and the attitude of college men toward religious services. Mr. Pfeiffer gave the class of '89 plainly to understand that, while athletics may call for a large share of the attention of the students of Harvard, there is another interest, namely, the religious, that cannot be neglected.

The chief reason, however, for our "bad eminence" is the readiness which the newspapers show to discredit all colleges, and Harvard, as the largest, gets the greatest share. There is a natural hostility between college-bred men and those who are "self-made," to which class belong the majority of journalists, and this enmity expends itself in spreading false rumors and injurious statements. The only thing that we can do is to live down this bad reputation by conducting ourselves...
