...women are making leap-year advances on poor Columbia in the direction of co-education, basing their claims on a quibble in regard to the word "youth" in the College Charter, which they say includes both sexes.

He leaves his readers to infer from this single copy that all examination papers presented to candidates for admission to Harvard are of a similar easy character. Such a conclusion is manifestly erroneous, and unjustified by the facts in the case...
