...time for unjust criticism, but rather for unhesitating support. Because things look bad, there is all the more reason why the University should show its appreciation of honest effort. We believe that Harvard men have as much pluck as Yale men, that the quality of courage and persistence produced in Cambridge is not a whit below that in New Haven. But now is a time for Harvard pluck to be proved, for Harvard to make every one believe that she is not dismayed because the odds are heavily against her, but that she will give her team the heartiest support...
...want to have things represented as temporary; bear them, accordingly, with good grace; and later on find that they are bound upon us hard and fast. The difference between something permanent and something indefinitely temporary we hardly see; and while we believe that students should and will show their willingness to meet the present necessity, we also insist that the Corporation, on their side, ought to take some decisive steps to remedy matters.

...deprovincializing our minds. Its guidance in politics may save the huge baggage wagon of human progress from many a sorry jolt and sometimes even from such a total overturn as that of the French Revolution. Montaigne's unconscious errand was not to break away from tradition, but to show that the past was even more valuable in certain ways as contrast than as example. In literature, the ability to make such contrasts is of incalculable advantage, nay, of prime necessity in acquiring breadth of view, and in defining our impressions more sharply. Without it, no man can be a critic...
