...debate as a whole was very interesting, and the spirit with which the labor problem was discussed shows that Harvard men are not entirely indifferent to the cause of the laboring man. The general trend of the argument was that the Knights of Labor would not promote the welfare of the working classes; that on the concentration of so much power in the hands of men not thoroughly versed in economic science would be a perpetual menace to our free institution...
...overcoat, and a cane. It is not only ungentlemanly, but it is unfair for any one to occupy a bath room longer than absolutely necessary; the accommodations are already inadequate to the demand, and any action tending to make this inadequacy greater is censurable. Men in college, possessing a spirit of good sense and genuine humanity, would welcome some rules at the gymnasium to limit the time for using a bath-room.

It is customary for Yale apologists to put forward many excuses for the college, which allege lack, not only of funds, but of any spirit among alumni that comes, forward to ease the pecuniary path of their alma mater. But the graduates have never been asked to give: they are more often treated as interlopers in college affairs than persons whose support or backing is desirable. Yale men who will take the trouble to read...
