...responsible. Let the tutor drill the boys.' Every college professor of history will sympathize with Mr. Sparks' view and be glad to see it put into practice. Mr. Sparks did his own work thoroughly and conscientiously, but he did not expect much from "the boys." Like them, he thought examination a good deal of a bore. He was a genial and extremely popular man, and when he became president the students always felt that he was on their side. His was a large and generous idea, and in all of his published work he has deserved well of his country...
Some ingenuous or else knavish freshman recently graduated from Andover, has been writing articles to the Philippians signing himself "Pilliparius" and evidently considering himself an accredited delegate to represent Harvard thought to the fellows at Andover. This eccentric individual has asserted various views as coming from Harvard against the tone of the Exonian and all Exeter besides.

It was bad enough to have the words and sentiments of Mr. Beecher misquoted in the daily papers, but when it comes to the CRIMSON and Advocate making this misrepresentation the basis of undignified and personal...
...inclination of Harvard thought is shown by the enthusiastic reception tendered the oration delivered at the Senior Class dinner, Friday last. We would be glad to quote from this oration and to bring before those who were not able to be at that dinner the words of truth which were greeted by almost unanimous applause-there were a few present who took the attack on "snobbery" to themselves and appeared disgruntled that they should be handled so unmercifully-but that is impossible. We can say only that the burden of the speech was, "Restore Harvard to her rightful position...
