...evil of their unwarranted interference is a very great one. It seems to us that sometimes the proctors are not quick enough to remind too noisy students that there are others whose rights must not be infringed upon, even at the expense of a breaking up of a modest social gathering. Again it is urged that the present system of surveillance is a bad one. But is this true? Are the proctors put in the buildings to report disturbances or to prevent them? Most assuredly the latter. We are given to understand, from good authority, that the faculty does...

And still, after more than two centuries, do Winthrops, Endicotts, Saltonstalls, Bulkleys, Danforths, Rogerses, Hoars and Wigglesworths represent at these tables the founders of the college and the Commonwealth.
