...class day, especially of class-day night, have been the source of attraction of a large part of the most disreputable element of Cambridge and Boston. The trouble originates with members of the college, and not outside. A large fence is erected at much cost, and policemen in uniform stand at the entrances to exclude the unauthorized from entering. It is the members of the college who are responsible for what follows. Many heedless men give away class-day tickets as convenient fees to their waiters, or their barber, or their goody.

Furthermore, it is a means by which one man is paid to do the work of another. This puts the custom on a par with that despicable custom...
...closes his eyes and ears to a truth which all he may say or do will yet be heard and recognized, does not merit the name 'educator." If an opportunity to gain an education means an opportunity offered to men only, if the word college shall be allowed to stand as significant to the male gender only, if girls because they are girls, are to be forbidden privileges which are rights of their brothers then the action of Columbia was ill-advised. But if to learn applies with equal significance to all, if colleges are to be considered as common...
