...live here at college, as it were, in a desert; and so we will live as long as co-education is not countenanced by the Harvard authorities. All the tender, gentle sides of our natures are neglected and grow up like reeds in a sandy soil, getting only a mere existence. Deprived for a time of association with the fairer and gentler sex, we grow manly and (in a sense) harsh, and not mild, gentle, forbearing. So, then, whenever we find the monotony of our desert life broken by some pleasant oasis with its shady groves and fair flowers, with...
...from making more than one throw for goal, an easy rolling ball stopped by Abbot, and each time, the ball was quickly returned to the Cambridge end of the field.

The protectionists, on the other hand, appeal to the tender side of their hearers' nature, and tell pitiful tales of the wretched condition of the Irish peasantry, and the natives of India,-all caused, as they say, by the introduction of free trade. When they turn their attention to this country, both fall into the same error. The protectionists calmly...
