...formation of an Exeter club should be controlled by such petty feeling as fear of over-boldness. I am certain that there are many men in the university, who, if they would only call a meeting of the Exeter men in college, would undoubtedly be successful in awakening true love for old Harvard which has always been characteristic of Exeter, and which would certainly be the cause of establishing a club here, offering every inducement to Exeter men who are undecided as to which college will suit them best...

Because a man does any work he apt to become 'non-fashionable' and there is generally an end to him." This may be true during the first two years of the college course, but we venture to assert that later in the course the society men fall and the grinds and the semi-grinds rise in the estimation of the college world. The writer also forgets the existence of several popular senior and junior...
