...meet with any considerable success. It is certain from the vigorous action of the present corps of officers, that this condition will now be reversed. There are no societies in the university which deserve a more lasting support than this, for it stands alone as the single society whose object is in any way related to temperance. A course of lectures or addresses by prominent men would do more to foster temperate habits among the students than any other work of the society...
...title page of the quarterly, whose appearance we announce more fully elsewhere, declares that it is published for Harvard University. This is true; for the generous gift of Mr. Thayer was intended as a further advantage to study in the department of political science at Harvard. But few public questions have ever existed in the history of our country of more intense interest and importance than that which is at present agitating it from east to west, and a publication devoted to the discussion of these problems will have important influence over a far wider territory than the university alone...

But we confess our inability to see in how far such a criticism can effect the change desired by those whose opinions Mr. Garrison has so well represented. We acknowledge much truth in what the gentleman urges, but take exceptions to his sweeping method of dealing with the evils. Let us see. What do we have proposed? The abolition of the secret, societies "whose end is secrecy and exclusiveness," a decrease in the monetary support...
