...indicate, as some public papers have inferred, that cribbing is present in an alarming degree at Harvard." That "the manliness evident in all departments of college life and the maturity of Harvard men are strong evidences that the vast majority of students would utterly scorn to make use of unfair means to gain an end which is valuable only so far as it is genuine." That this practice, however, which is both "conduct unbecoming a gentleman" and a crime in no degree of less guilt that lying or cheating to gain profit or to defraud another of his property, does...

He tries to justify himself by saying that Harvard has opened to undergraduates of the academic department "many of the courses of the Divinity School," besides most of those of the Scientific School, and that therefore a comparison of the two colleges is necessarily unfair to Yale, if in that comparison the Sheffield School is disregarded.

Men in college, possessing a spirit of good sense and genuine humanity, would welcome some rules at the gymnasium...
...course, it would be unfair to expect that the freshmen should be rowing as well as the upper class crews, which have all had one or more years experience on the water; but eighty-nine should remember that if they are behind hand, they must work all the harder during the next two months to catch up, because they have to row the other class crews about the first of May, and they certainly do not want to bring up the rear on that any more than in the race with Columbia. Eighty-nine has plenty of strong, heavy...
