This class is based mainly on the personal opinion of advisability that the committee entertains, and has not the excuse of practical necessity which the rules for eligibility had. In view of these facts we feel that the Athletic Committee has acted in a way highly detrimental to the best interests of Harvard University...

Without doubt it is to establish and maintain a civil government that shall promote the chief ends of civil society, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. From this point of view we may readily divide the voters of a state into three classes: First, the conscientious citizens, or men of "independent action"; second, the men who support their parties through good or evil, or "party allegiance" men; and third, the men who sell their votes.
