...permit a letter from an anonymous correspondent; in the second place, they do not like the idea of having a correspondent; in the third place, they say that not even a knowledge of his name would justify them in printing his first letter; but finally soften toward him, and remark that "possibly his second may be of a more satisfactory nature. If so, it will avail nothing without his name...
Naturally, all desire in the society of their associates to appear to the best possible advantage. If one possesses any disagreeable characteristic, a gentle insinuation that the same thing in another is very objectionable often suffices to correct it in him for whom the remark was intended.

It is still harder to say that a man must be separated for a longer or shorter term from the University, because to what seemed to him a rude remark from an officer of government he made a rude reply. But when it happens that the charges against a man do not appear to be substantiated, then it is that the undergraduates are given to discussing the present system of penalties. There will probably no one be found who thinks that...
