...other vocation where time and orain must be limited in their use. Those exceptions in the eyes of their fellow students are not any more brilliantly endowed mentally than the rest, but they have one great superiority, that of knowing when and how to study. They portion out a certain amount of time each day to study and come what may, be it sport or exercise, they never fail to devote so much time to their studies, nor swerve in their duty. Thus, as it were, wedging their minds between two rigid walls of time they learn to accomplish more...
...able to regulate the matter themselves. In the present instance the doubt has never been as to the propriety of celebrating victories-the more victories, and the more celebrations of them, the better, is, I feel sure, the sentiment of every man in the faculty, but as to certain features of the celebrations, the loud explosions which make the college a formidable nuisance to the neighborhood by keeping people awake and imperilling such as are seriously ill; and the danger to trees and buildings from lighting bonfires in the yard.

...this afternoon upon Holmes Field. The Dartmouth nine, our opponent, was easily defeated, it is true, upon its former visit to Cambridge, yet the games it has since played have shown pretty clearly that the team is a strong one.

...Cribbing," as the other process is styled, is almost utterly dishonest. It is simyly an attempt to carry into examination material with which the questions of the examiners may be answered without any regard to the student's knowledge of the subject. As all the men examined on a certain day in a certain branch of study are given printed papers bearing the same questions it would seem the most natural way for the men to get possession of the paper before the examination. This, unfortunately, is seldom if ever practicable. The printing is watched with the most jealous care...
...next charge made against our system is that students who follow consistent courses, may become "onesided and erratic." This charge again is true, and in its truth do we find the excellence of our plan. When a student has acquired a certain roundness, it should be the next step for that student to develop some especial talent with which he is endowed. This is made possible in a greater degree under an elective than a prescribed system, and in this possibility of "one sided" intellects becoming still more "one sided" is the virtue of the new regime...
