...Stuff!" she interrupted, "the elective system is a failure. You keep boys steadily at school from the time they are big enough to run alone, pick out their studies for them without consulting their own wishes, give them no chance to learn anything outside of books, treat them as mere cramming machines, and then, after this process has gone on ten or a dozen years, you suddenly remove all restraints and say, 'It is a very difficult thing to lay out a course of study properly, so use all wisdom, and Heaven bless you, my dear.'"

When a Cornell student "stacks" a room, or a Union student indulges in a cane rush, to wear a foolscap would...
...cannot conclude without looking at home, and considering the claims which Harvard students possess to be regarded as men. For a number of years past, but more particularly recently, the Faculty have endeavored to treat students as if they were sufficiently mature to judge for themselves in matters which concerned them personally. All unnecessary and childish rules have long been dispensed with, and a liberty of action has been granted them as great if not greater than that accorded in any other institution of learning in this country or in England. For this the Faculty have deserved, and have received...
