...there will be such magazines. Just as there are copies of Voltaire and of Rabelais and of the countless others who have written with a bit of salt in their ink. For that is an angle of life. And to live some people must see life from all of its angles, just as others must refrain from seeing it from any angle. "Hatracket" will arise whenever Bostonians find their bucolic boundaries crossed by realism or by candor. And the same race which maintains the limits of Boston culture will frown upon those who jibe at the rouged...
...veracious a manner, the Circle loses by parading in a false and scaffolded plot a problem which has its roots in bigotry. The first act of the latter suffers immeasurably in consequence.

Its reputation for snobbishness has never been altogether just. Admittedly its system of undergraduate clubs is unduly favorable to men from the fashionable preparatory schools; but the policy of the Faculty has been steadily democratic. Since the Civil War negroes of ability have been welcomed--with the result that Southern white students have preferred other institutions.
