...study of law in college would be very beneficial, not only from a practical point of view, but also from a theoretical one. It trains the mind to concise thinking, and perhaps excels every other in teaching the student not to regard matters superficially, but to search deeply for underlying causes, and not to be misled by appearances...
...SIMPLE question, certainly. Easy enough to answer if we mean to inquire what Harvard is in a legal point of view; but if we wish to know what Harvard is, considered as an educational institution, we find a difference of opinion.

The delightful little essay on Censure Marks becomes almost poetical in its phraseology, and but for a few slight trips...
...think, however, that in the instances brought to our notice, thoughtlessness, or ignorance of the real nature of Class Day, has been the cause of this inconsiderateness. We hope that students will view the matter in this light, and do as they would be done by, for they certainly will wish and need similar favors when their own Class Day comes...
