...discussing with Darwin, a town - a modern, busy, trading, prosaic, mushroom, damnable town - has been started, is growing beneath our very nose! We believe they have a "City Hall" and a "Government," - we are not sure that the College, whose refining, softening, broadening influence has so long been felt throughout the whole country, is not partly in the power of a collection of dram-drinking politicians! Cambridgeport, indeed! What would it be without Harvard? A collection of slaughter-houses, - a pig-killing village.

In view of all these things there...

So long as we recognize a Tabular View, we shall have but two unoccupied hours throughout the day, and these hours, from two to four o'clock, though the best for out-door exercise, are still quite unavailable while we dine at one, for it must be injurious to pull an oar or swing a bat so soon after eating. To exercise later is to be on the river or at Jarvis at sunset, and this in October is far from healthy...
