...they ever existed in a great degree at Harvard, and that a body of Harvard graduates brought together for the express purpose of fostering and renewing the pleasant reminiscences of college life, would not take such a backward step as our representatives seem to have done.

No wonder, then, that our love for the schools from which we came is second only to that we have for our college, and that our interest in their welfare continues long after we have left them forever. A proof of this regard for one's training school is shown in the action...
