...hope that "H. H. D." will not think I differ from him in fundamentals. I heartily agree; only whereas he says to the faculty: "You must begin."

The freshmen had a hard time in those days. Now, in their own opinion at least, they are of great importance; no one molests them, and they are permitted to lead their verdant life in peace. But stranger indeed were the laws against freshmen in 1675: "No freshman shall wear his hat in the college yard unless...
