...more careful than we. "Newspapers Here and Abroad," by E. L. Godkin is, as its title indicates, a comparison of our own with foreign methods, ours being chiefly newsgathering, true and false, whereas foreigners devote themselves more to editorial writing. Mr. Godkin's paper has no expression of contempt for our contemporaneous journalism, that the Nation so often and justly indulges in. "The Doctrine of States' Rights" is advocated by Jeff. Davis. Erastus Wiman writes on "British Capital in the United States." Rev. Julius H. Ward discusses the "American Bishops of Today" and Ouida writes on Shelley in a trenchant...
...fairly compete with us; yet some how the fact is that they do, and beat us in the bargain. Harvard is not in such a position that she can afford to be exclusive. Our action in foot ball, though somewhat justifiable, has aroused too much ridicule and contempt all over the country to allow us to go further. There is a feeling among many that to confine our athletics to Yale will be an unwarranted and unwise step. Let this feeling be shown now in a vigorous protest against the new regulations...

A candid statement of the objections to a new university, which are undoubtedly many and strong, would have much more force, and would not be as liable to be misunderstood...
...higher thinkers to high livers is continually rising, as the library and office statistics show. The great populace at the University is apt to slur over moral laxity in a man provided he is affable and kindly, i.e., a 'good fellow.' Yet it is undeniable that the feeling of contempt, for vice and extravagance, gathers strength among all as the four years pass. The influence of the sporting men, of men of fashion, and of the heavy subscribers to athletic games (i. e., of the fast set), which is overwhelming in the freshman year, is almost entirely supersided...
...admirable, but its ideas of civilization are different from ours, and if more than amusement or manual training is attempted, the priest is sure to interfere. In the next place, work among the lowest class is of little benefit without a lifelong experience. Amiable feelings are held in contempt by these people, and unless there is some real work to be done, some common ground for both, friendly sentiments are useless. It is not worth while to attempt simple amusement, for the amount of sin or drunkenness is not decreased by it. Relations however, with the more intelligent and prosperous...
