It may be that I am unduly prejudiced in favor of the government at your university, yet I believe to develop honest manhood you must put a man on his honor. This compulsory law does not extend over the seminary. Theologues are proper young men, supposed to be present at chapel every morning...
...were written in pencil, and many more with an insufficient supply of ink, so that several hundred worthy persons lost their chance of gaining an immortality by neglecting to pay enough attention to details.

...regretted that more intimate relations do not exist between the faculty and the students, if for nothing else, in order that the latter might know whether or not they err in supposing, as many do, that the faculty do not trust the honor of the students, and that their policy is to sacrifice the slight offender or even the innocent transgressor that the greater but undetected wrong-doers may see and tremble...
