...methods, we must be convinced that it is impossible at present to lay down any common rule by which degrees are to be awarded. But it is very surprising to find sometimes that degrees of the same grade granted by the same college do not always mean the same thing. This is true of the degree A. M. given by Harvard.

They can only spend the six-pence it costs to see the game...

There is a natural hostility between college-bred men and those who are "self-made," to which class belong the majority of journalists, and this enmity expends itself in spreading false rumors and injurious statements. The only thing that we can do is to live down this bad reputation by conducting ourselves properly as students and as graduates, and by spreading a know ledge of the true state of things whenever there is a chance.
