...best ask itself if it is not wrong. This President was strongly in favor of putting men on their honor at all examinations; finally the report says that he spoke against summoning an offending student before a large faculty committee, since a committee of one who understands the case is more likely to decide justly. For the most part these suggestions have already been carefully weighed and applied at Harvard. In the system under which we find ourselves working at present, is embodied each of these ideas, and to its rationality every student at Harvard is able to attest...
...answer to the argument that the age of Harvard students ought to be reduced, he suggests that even now the men are none too old for the self-government that is placed in their hands, or for a thorough understanding of principles of philosophy, ethics, and sociology. In case the growth of higher education in America has not kept up with that of the population (a fact which President Warren doubts), is the best way of remedying the evil that of turning out on the world a lot of superficially educated men?

Nothing but good has come from the Yale game, and Harvard...
...common kindness that should exist between man and man, to say nothing of college mates, is contemptible. The only excuse that ever exists for the practice, namely that it is fair to charge some commission for the trouble taken in getting tickets, is none at all in the case of students. Nothing is ever gained in the end by meanness...
