...scholar and collector, is not likely to be lacking in a reverence for Shakespeare, and yet, in discussing the question, "Shall we open Shakespeare's Grave?" he did not hesitate to argue in favor of opening it, in spite of the anathema carved on the tombstone.

...enlargement of the circle of liberal arts may be justly urged on the ground that the interests of the higher education and of the institutions which supply that education demand it.

...play a good game of lacrosse, base-ball, or foot-ball, but who have not had any experience. should hang back and decline to try for positions on a team, not out of timidity, for this is a "rare commodity,"but out of pure indifference, is disgraceful. Individual players, whose reputations are made before they come to college constitute our nine, eleven, and twelve, and as long as they are in active exercise the teams prosper, but when any one of these men fails, through sickness or injury, the choice of a successor lies between one or two indifferent players...
