...sure, a few here may have enough depth and intensity of feeling seriously to attempt poetry. But the rest of us, the majority, would do better to forget a first love, which we never had; cease wishing to die; and write of what we know and feel...
...toward cosmopolitanism and away from the narrowness of provincialism, toward also a wholesome independence in life and ideas and away from the narrowness of home dependencies. The trustees of the University of Pennsylvania overlook the fact that the "man" entering college has lived at home long enough not to forget his home and its many charms and beneficial influences, and that he has reached a time of life when his nature, which is but his almost instinctive yearning for freer and broader living, demands something higher and stronger than home influences.

For the college-man who endeavors to make capital for himself or for his paper by gross misrepresentations of college events, no criticism is too sharp, no condemnation too severe. A man, who can so forget his own honor as to bring by any wilful action any stain on the good name of his own college, ought to be regarded as a source of harm to the college world, and to be so treated by his fellow students. Such men, we regret to say, exist...
