...these examinations, Harvard is not rowing on equal terms with her opponents; that, owing to the large number of colleges and the opportunities for sharp practice that arise, Harvard is forced to row with a set of men against whom charges like those recently made in the Advertiser may be plausibly put forward; that the unwieldiness of the Association almost places it beyond its own control:- when these grievances, together with many others that might be mentioned, are considered, no one can doubt that Harvard has abundant reason for taking up her connection with the Association, and adopting...

The writer said that Harvard was trying to refine her sons by obliging them to have three separate courses at dinner, and, though that particular reform may have been unnecessary, there is certainly plenty of room for further improvements. The price is too low to allow our meals to be made appetizing, and much of our food is therefore of a cheap kind; the meats are from inferior cuts, or are not well carved; we do not have anything...
