...this fashion. Harvard makes no claim that she has in the past been above reproach. She, too, though in a somewhat less degree than some of her sister colleges is open to criticism for the past. She does maintain, however, that her actions this year have been straightforward and honest, and of this she certainly has a right to be proud. We thank Mr. Hooper for his success in refuting the slander which has been set loose upon us. In justice to Harvard his letter ought to reach the public as well as the students.

Finally all Harvard men ought to respect themselves as Christians...

He will not expect to start in as a dramatic critic or book reviewer, but will know that he has got to do daily labor just as in any other honest business, It seems to me that journalism is invaluable for clearing the cobwebs out of a man's brain, and making him logical and quick in his thinking and clear and forcible in his expressions...
