...make this canvass of any value it will be necessary to secure returns from a large majority of the undergraduates resident in Cambridge. The following means have been adopted for carrying this out: the various dormitories and streets on which students live have been divided into assignments, and these have been taken by members of the hall who have volunteered for the work.

But certain observances which exert an unconscious influence upon all who live under them are not inconsistent with true freedom. When opportunities for these arise, let us not be ashamed to display an interest in them, whether the interest is prompted by mere sentiment or by a deeper realization of that which lies behind the public expression...
