...Eliot to those of a well-known prize-fighter; but I wish to emphasize the meanness of trying to influence the vote of whatever voters there may be among the students here, by a dastardly attack upon a president of whom we all, whatever our political opinions, are justly proud...
...cannot understand such a state of affairs. Surely Ninety-two has not made an enviable record, has not given the college reason to be proud of it in any respect save in its football victory last fall!

Moreover, the graduates of the best fitting schools would by that time be as well equipped as was many a man of an earlier generation at the proud day when he received his degree of A. B. Even at the present, there are many graduates of these high grade fitting schools who elude the college altogether and enter the professional schools without the academic degree, without the traditional sheepskin. By their act these men are declaring that they...
