...Thayer's leader. He believes that "the idea of beating another college should evoke more zeal than that of winning from a personal friend." Excellence in intellectual pursuits craves the approval of the masses, however seldom it gets such approval; and since effort in an intercollegiate competition is sure to win some degree of recognition from the undergraduate masses, the new plan may prove effective. The second essay is a plea by Mr. Peters to have enrolled upon the Memorial Hall tablets the names of Harvard men who died for the Southern Confederacy. The plea is against sectional prejudice...

But if Equality and Fraternity are to be a matter of deeds and not mere words, it is an open question whether one can find a people more loving...
...would not be fair to Mr. H. L. Rogers to judge "The Petty Larcenist" on the instalment plan. The most that we can ask of a serial is that it will help dispose of the next issue; and we can be reasonably sure that those who have made the acquaintance of S. Mosbaugh White, Esq., will want to know how he fared at El Paso...
