...unlovely traits of character, but these traits are always possessed by those who are working in earnest and striving for enlightenment in education and morals. The chief intent of Harvard College was to provide ministers for the Colonists, but it was soon found that college-bred men were eminently fitted for high offices in both the government of the state and in commercial spheres of life. Among the latter may be ranked the governors, Joseph Dudley, Stoughton and Saltonsdall. John Harvard numbered among his friends John Cotton and Thomas Hooker, fellows and teachers in Emmanuel College, England, also Sims...

Yet, having given this matter "early consideration" as was desired, we are led to move that...

The system of the English was to put a dead language into active use, conversing in it at all opportunities, and after learning enough grammar to enable them to fit in the cases, verbs, etc., to turn all their attention to rapid reading and translating. After so many years have elapsed the study of the classics under the old-new method has been given a great impetus and an interest which formerly was rapidly disappearing.
