...suppose that the students so censured by their own companions would guard their manners rather better." Mr. Forney then proceeds to advocate the establishment of an organization, among the students of each college, which by quiet discussion shall prevent those shameful out-breaks. "Let the college papers," he continues, "suggest and advise such an organization and fix upon the details of its management." However useful such an organization might, in theory, seem to be, its practical benefits would be very small.

...consideration of the new scheme for honors at Cornell University cannot but suggest some defects in our own system.

Life at Harvard, moreover, is but a Spartan exercise in self-denying virtues, and such effeminacies should not be tolerated...
