...There are but thirty odd men in the L. S. S., who, however, can turn out a crew capable, probably, of beating any class crew in college; yet it would not be fair that a class of two hundred men, capable of turning out two or three crews almost equal to the Scientific, should be hampered in their wishes by the small number of their opponents...
...saved, certainly no one can question the claim that Harvard has fair grounds for withdrawing from the Association.

Not for an instant would I advance the idea that open elections secure perfection in representation; for that desirable object has never been secured, I believe, except where the representatives equal or outnumber the represented. But I do hold it as easily demonstrable, that all the evils of open election exist in the old society system, while its virtues are, for the most part, there unknown...
