...must be prepared to take a foremost place in the highest intellectual work of the world. Until within a few years, no attempts have been made to furnish instruction to graduates, not so much because our Universities were unwilling or unable to do so, as because there were few young men who desired it; however, at Harvard, at any rate, the number of resident graduates is steadily increasing, for at present we have more than forty, not including, I think, those who avail themselves of our laboratories, museums, and libraries. Harvard, therefore, can well be proud of her record...
...instruction as does not usually come within the limits of an undergraduate's course. The chief object is, not to enable boys to forestall the regular work of a professional school in order that they may begin their practice at an early age, but to promote learning by encouraging young graduates to continue their studies.

Most marvellous, too, are the stories told us by everybody, but especially by young ladies, of the way college students spend their time. If we might believe them, our life is only a round of smoking, lounging, singing, theatre-going, and general making of ourselves happy. College fellows have "such good times" that many of these fair creatures would turn Amazons, and fight the Demon...
