...whole theory and practice of their lives? Not, I think, what has been obtained in lecture-room, or recitation-room, so much as in these surroundings which suggest deep and quiet reflection,- these accretions of historic interest, these embodiments of tender sentiment. It is good for any student to feel that wise and true men have labored at his university before him,- that their quiet constructive work has been recognized,- that it outlasts the din and applause of stump speeches, and special pleadings of caucuses and conventions. That is the significance of those tablets inyounder chapel, of those tablets inyonder...
...also that I hope private munificence may, before the University is much older, bring these same influences to bear upon students who from various reasons have not connected themselves with the fraternities.

It therefore behooves the members of '87 to consider and arrange with no ordinary care and forethought the various electives, which...
...maintained that a student, at the beginning of his sophomore year, is more or less incompetent to decide for himself what may be the best course for him to follow in his study, and that a prescribed curriculum embracing the necessary elements upon which to build a liberal education should be substituted in place of a too freely elective system. We do not consider it our province to answer this argument, but think it well to advise a careful consideration before a final decision is made in the choice of electives for the ensuing year...
