...Monday night much the same scene was repeated,-a troublesome and provoking interference was shown, the band was not allowed to enter the yard, the students were ordered about like schoolboys, and a threatening and ill timed speech was made by one of the younger instructors. A feeling of resistance, a desire to smash something was the natural and inevitable result, and I can but think it fortunate that so little trouble came of it.

...years, at least, to change the complexion of that body, even if all the new men each year should be advocates of "voluntary prayers." Every effort should be made to get the right men nominated, and then the nominees should be supported at the polls on Commencement Day. The younger graduates should wake up to the issue and remember the undergraduates who remain behind them attending prayers against their wills.

The genial "autocrat" cannot stand entirely aloof from his first love, and almost every month he pays a visit to the doctor mill on the Back Bay. Some of the younger professors think that Dr. Holmes is pretty far behind the times-"an old fogy, you know" but the boys have no thought for them when the old doctor comes in sight, trying to steal unseen through some open space. Applause and shouting bring the doctor to a stop. The bright, strong...
