...should like to add one word on my individual account. What I personally wish we might see growing up here is a complete system of self-government by the students,-the faculty only regulating studies, and having nothing to do with conduct except in altogether unusual emergencies. If there could be but one crime, "behavior disgraceful to the college," and one punishment, expulsion, that would, it seems to me, be the ideal state of things.

From various entries in the journal we learn that "Harvard indifference" is not of recent growth. May 23rd, 1836, "all the officers except the junior secretary being absent, a committee was appointed to inquire the reason, and a long discussion took place on the infelicitous state of the society." At the next meeting a committee appointed "to concert measures to raise the character of the society and excite more interest in the exercises," recommended that "in order to secure the attendance of a fixed number of members so necessary for the improvement at which we aim, a new list...
