...careful analysis both of its course of thought and of its general style. While purporting to be a defence of Harvard students, it is manifestly a protest against certain religious opinions, and a slur cast, in one case upon the expressions, in the other upon the doctrinal views, of two eminent Christian men. The daily papers, Messrs. Editors, have quite sufficiently misrepresented the doctrinal views of the recent candidate for the bishopric of Massachusetts, and we need not re-echo their hasty judgments on the soundness of those views. Let us not admit religious controversy into the colums...
Second, the injustice of ranking nearly alike two men, of whom one has a real knowledge of his subject, and the other only what his syllabus has hinted to him. Sir James Stephen has pointed out that in history it is quite possible for an adroit and dexterous man who has coolness, tact, and experience in examinations to assume the deceptive semblance of great erudition. It often happens that one who from much reading is acquainted with the minutiae as well as the outlines of history gets no higher mark (or perhaps not so high) than another who has confined...

No notice was given to either Amherst or Harvard Freshmen, the only two other entries; much less did they ask it as a favor. In the latter case, we have no doubt Harvard would have yielded without a murmur, while Amherst would not have been slow to follow. As it is, both Amherst and Harvard have refused to row against Yale's consolidated Freshman crew. That they...
...have sympathy with the students, - instantly hurled back the remarks to which we have alluded, instancing the fact of the crowded assemblies in Appleton Chapel on those occasions when simple eloquence and hearty zeal were the characteristics of the preacher. The different modes of address employed by the two gentlemen to whom we have alluded may be taken in illustration of the power which man exercises over his fellows, and of the force of plain dignified truth as opposed to specious eloquence...
