...future only to those who were deemed especially fitted to receive the degree. It is, of course, unpleasant to mark out in this way some particular man by not conferring it, but it was getting to be a necessity, and it is not probable that there would ever come a better time than the present to make this stand. The position of the overseers, we can imagine, is that the whole system of honorary degrees, except in exceptionable cases, is based on rather questionable grounds, and particularly is it so in the case of conferring them upon...
...have made the college prominent in this sport, will leave with the present senior class, and it will be very difficult, if not impossible, to fill their places.

We look forward, however, to next year confident that Harvard will again make a good fight...
...writer comes to the conclusion that "the idea of the American college, the idea of orderly training in fundamental branches of learning, partly for the sake of storing the mind with useful information, partly for the development of physical, mental and moral training, seems to stand as firm as ever;" and that "the increase of wealth, the progress of science, and the advancement of religious freedom, though temporary disturbing agencies, are likely to be factors of permanent good...
