...question of more practical concern in regard to the inner administration of Harvard is that of the establishment of a system of examination boards-indeed the question of the entire reform of the present examination system. There is no doubt that with the development of the university system a change, which shall introduce some method of examination by examiners totally distinct from those actually engaged in the work of instruction, is bound to come about. The work of instruction and the work of examination should be separated by a line distinctly drawn; in themselves they have no connection. This matter...

Harvard men were not found wanting in patriotism in the war for the Union...
...venturing an opinion as to the liberty any paper should possess. It is not the amusement, by any means, that induces men to devote so much of their time to writing. The real aim of every college paper is to voice the best collegiate sentiment on subjects that intimately concern a student ; and that, by so doing, it tends to raise the tone of a college is a matter, we are glad to say, that is quite beyond dispute...
