When the same vandal influence which assailed religion in the case or the chaplainship is seen to be at work to undermine social feeling by attacking its expression, one may well wish that his lot had been cast in that golden age (problematical, to be sure, even in Homer's time) when a warrior raised with ease a stone that in after times was to require the strength of four of the fast degenerating species...
...exact numerical representation, but that positions of responsibility be filled by men who are qualified, and who will do credit to the class. With its success in this respect the class is abundantly satisfied, and we may congratulate Seventy-six that her offices will be filled gracefully and well. An element is poorly represented when an unfit man obtains an office, and not because the office is not filled from its own number.

The debates in the Oxford and Cambridge Unions are sometimes most...
...Thayer - is to be reduced in proportion to the advance of price in Holworthy. The Bursar, by this move, has added to the annual income of the College the neat sum of $1,350. It has been taken from the pockets of a class of students who can well afford to pay it, and could it be expended better than by saving the pockets of a class to whom room-rent is an item of great consequence? One class gets an amount of comfort which is fully worth the price they pay; the other class pays a high price...
