...explanation of the higher standard of honor at Harvard found in the very thing which seems to be lacking under the conditions described above: namely, a thorough understanding between fellow-students and between instructors and students, that each man is to stand on his own merits and to be taken absolutely at his word? Such an understanding entirely disarms the simple-minded person who considers the college course as a warfare between teachers and taught in which "all is fair" that wins...
...held. His reputation has been wide-spread and the whole country has been awaiting with anxious interest the outcome of his illness. He leaves a family of three sons and two daughters, of whom the sons have attained considerable prominence in the law. The eldest, Samuel Hoar, is a Fellow of the Corporation of Harvard, which position his father had held as well. Judge Hoar had also been a member of the Board of Overseers.

...honor on which Harvard men pride themselves as the misuse of books provided by the University libraries. We refer to the way in which some men, - their number we are sure is not large, - appropriate reserved books to their own uses with absolute disregard of the convenience of their fellow students. Perhaps this is too mild a criticism of a man who takes from the shelves a greater number of books than his immediate needs require and gloats over his ill-gotten gains in some obscure alcove. What is to be said then of a man who takes away reserved...
