...then "unquestionably the best in the United States." "Here the leaning is towards the languages, in Yale College towards the arts and sciences," President Dwight says; but he regrets that even here the admission requirements in Latin ("to speak true Latin and write it in verse as well as prose") were being "continually lowered by gradual concessions." The buildings then were "four colleges, a chapel, and a house, originally a private dwelling, now called College House." Of the arrangement of the college edifices he speaks more temperately than certain art professors who have lived since his time, for he only...
...Advocate that they may do, or refrain from doing, what they please; but when it comes to forbidding to others the same privilege, they disregard the fundamental principle of our government, and overstep their province. We have great respect for the Freshman class, and we wish them well in every particular. No satirical advice to them will appear in our columns; but the letters which have been furnished us by one of our most valued contributors - a man of large experience - can be read with interest by every one, and, if taken in the right way, with great advantage...

With us, a place is won on the crew to satisfy personal ambition; and when all have seen that it was once won, and can be retained at the holder's option, it is calmly relinquished, and the ex-varsity man rests complacently...
...graduate cannot endure. Loring's "Two College Friends" is a more truthful picture of Harvard. But this volume of verse, in our opinion, gives a still better insight into College life, and is a better representative of Harvard feeling. We know of no work which will serve so well to remind a student of his College days when away, or which will give his friends so clear an idea of the joyous life he has led here...
