...departure" of the Everett Athenaeum from the orbit which some of its early friends and former members had confidently asserted to be its only proper one must be a source of hearty congratulation for those most interested. The success that attended the theatricals at Andover and Exeter on Friday the 17th, and Saturday the 18th instant, was such as to make these occasions memorable in the society's history; and if the enthusiasm of an audience means anything, the society will have a hearty welcome whenever it chooses to revisit either of these towns...

Before ending with a prayer that what is really an amusement may not become a profession, he says: "The University ideal should be as high as possible. To hold up success in examination as the natural end of three years' exertion, is a very questionable doctrine; but it is still worse when athletic competition comes to stand upon the same level of popular applause...
