...without it, were welcomed by many as a sign that some members of the Faculty, at any rate, while desiring to raise the standard of scholarship, and to treat the students less like school-boys than has formerly been the case, desire also to improve the relations which exist between students and professors, and to increase the feelings of confidence which each body should have in the other. The request in regard to proctors was apparently not granted, the Faculty thereby signifying their disbelief in the existence of a feeling of honor among the members of the art elective sufficient...

The term is so inappropriate to any state of things that should exist at College, and so suggestive of a tone of feeling from which it is hoped Harvard has emancipated herself, that I was not unprepared for the disapproval I soon began to feel in reading the article. As I continued to read, however, disapproval deepened into indignation. The question of open elections no longer seemed an unsettled issue. That reform was not the modification of an institution for the sake of convenience...
