...introduced himself at the start to the large number of University men present by saying, "I have never gotten much nearer to Harvard than the Stadium, which I visited and cheered myself hoarse in, at Saturday's game, but I have met men throughout this whole country in every walk of life who owe their start to Harvard and to Technology." Then he swung with characteristic vigor into the theme of his famous sermon...
...maintains ideals of free speech, for example far ahead of most universities. Her funds for fellowships, scholarships and loans approach one hundred thousand dollar a year. Many of her professors are extremely redical, notably in history, economics, psychology and philosophy. Her graduates include the most progressive leader in every walk of life. And because a larger percentage of her students are by heredity opposed to radicalism than is the case in most colleges, It is unfair and untrue to assume that her academic policies and principles are governed a by "moss-backed" conservatism. Conservatism is necessary element in constructive radicalism...

...free, irresponsible spirit of college men shows itself most conspicuously in an utter disregard for the appearance of college grounds and buildings. It is not unusual to see a man walk through the Yard on his way to a nine o'clock, tearing up his morning's mail and scattering the bits of paper over the grass. Or a student will bring a newspaper to some recitation and leave it crumpled up on the floor. These are trifling instances of carelessness, perhaps, but the results are untidy recitation rooms and slovenly looking grounds...
