...bring about this reform the scientific method is most effective. Reformers and would be reformers must sift the matter to the core, they must go to work and examine systems deemed defective. They must study the grievances and their causes, and they will then, and only then see the evil as it really is. But for a reformer to devote himself to all reforms would be a senseless task. He must choose some single thing which he thinks needs reforming and do his best to bring about the desired reform. He must not work alone, however; he must join...
...great heart of Harvard University pulsating with its life of noblest activity, has been stirred to its very core within the last few days, by the appearance in the North American Review of an article professing to give an honest description of the habits of a certain class of men dwelling within the precincts of the University. Following as it does a series of attacks upon the good name of the University published in a number of daily papers, the article has aggravated the feeling among the students that Harvard is most unjustly dealt with by those who have...
...chapel pulpit was occupied last evening by Dr. Newman Smyth, D. D., of New Haven. He chose his text from John 8:44; "He stood not in the light because there was no light in him."

Jealous colleges, uttered the Pharasaical "Ah, ha!" Papers of which the past existence and actions had been anything but religious, caught the infection and sneered at that of which they knew nothing, and having used their war-worn phrases, passed them...
...rimmed with beer-stains, books, a few chairs, a bed, mugs of various sizes and fantastic devices-these constitute the principle bric-a-brac. The odor of stale tobacco prevades everything. Excepting as a mere resting-place the student seldom uses his room. HE is a Bohemian to the core. You may oftenest find him in a beer-shop, discussing obstruse, metaphysical problems through clouds of tobacco smoke, or at the kneipe of his dueling-corps, shouting glees over beer and pretzels until morning. Thence he steals away in the early dawn to strain his eyes over pages of fine...
