...exercise a stronger influence than any set of resolutions, however formally drawn up and endorsed. But the committee cannot hope for success unless supported by the good will and hearty assistance of their fellow students. We trust that the committee will prove efficient in their work, and that henceforth our celebrations will be somewhat more gentlemanly, if less extravagant...
...Henceforth honor candidates in law, history, and science at Oxford, will be excused from the classical examinations, which are called the "moderations," at the end of the first or the beginning of the second year. The classics can now all be got rid of before entering the university, leaving the student free, as at Harvard now, to specialize as much as he pleases. The great public schools are altering their curricula so as not only to finish the classical part of the education, but supply elementary instruction in the principal sciences.

Our conversation would henceforth lose its elegance, its pungency, its accuracy. Yes, slang is prevalent at Harvard. It is in the class-room, the dormitory, on the field. You hear it on the river; in the gymnasium, - everywhere. But its use has such proportions that comment upon it is unexpected, and for any human...
