...years could be gathered into one mass. We could then witness the roughest, the toughest, the most corrupt heap of humanity that mortal man has ever seen. Politics everywhere is moaning beneath such men, to whom government is a thing of the past, and equity of the right sort unknown. Blindly fighting for party rights, they forget their country's welfare. We cannot look to our party for political purity, for from the highest to the lowest politician there are stains of corruption and taints of pollution.

The students themselves, those who have any appreciation of the dignity of Harvard life should unite to frown...

The evening schools of Boston are very well organized, and Mr. Clark has compiled a "Guide to Evening Classes," which has brought them all into a sort of university system. There is a debating club for young men which meets at the house, and also a literary society called the Emerson Club, composed of about sixty members, which is addressed from time to time by different persons, on subjects of literature, science and art. There are also, during the winter, boys' and girls' clubs which are under...
