With him has passed away a certain spirit of familiarity and friendship between professors and students, for his retirement came at a time when the University was beginning to grow most rapidly and was losing somewhat the "Harvard spirit." Thus this article leads to "The Decadence of the Harvard Spirit; A Conversation" by Hugh McCulloch.
