...method, which must analyze the understanding with mathematical precision, estimating the work done as the hydrometer measures the alcohol in spirits, at the same time discovering and exposing all the ingenious devices by which examination-papers have been made easy. Every one will be truly gauged according to his actual merit by this unerring machine, which will play havoc with those cunning seekers after college-rank whose sole claim to distinction is the idea entertained by their instructors that they are trying hard. Amiable rank-smiths, there is to be no more of this sort of scholastic reputation-building...
...victorious rooster to camp on a deserted field. Whenever I entered my room, morning or afternoon, this piteous moaning continued, and I found out that it was a melodeon. So much information was gained, but the momentous question arose, "How often is it taken sick in this way?"

We find History 7 placed at nine o'clock, and in actual conflict with the Senior and Junior Greek course, with the advanced Latin composition course, with both the English courses, two German courses, all the advanced French courses, and two other History courses, together with several courses in Mathematics and Chemistry...
...doing but poorly, which is just another way of saying that Mr. Goddard's work amounted to nothing. Now, besides the very questionable courtesy of sending such a statement to a newspaper, even if that statement were true, the writer of the letter was either ignorant of the actual facts of the case, or else guilty of intentional misrepresentation. The truth is that when Mr. Goddard took charge of the crew, the prospects were anything but encouraging; there were but few men trying for positions, and scarcely any life was shown in the matter. It was very largely owing...
