...younger scions of Parkman's circle of readers, or of such of them as read the Harvard Magenta, are in like manner carefully poisoned by such writings as those of 'V. J. R.' on Education in France, in that paper." We shudder at the thought of the moral responsibility we are under for having published such articles. The warning comes too late, however, for we are under contract to publish a long series of similar nature. The Journal must look out for another dose of "poison," and provide itself with a strong antidote...
...daily routine. We are forced to the conclusion that colleges have no souls, and are mere grist-mills, which receive school-boys into their hoppers, and turn out "liberally educated men." We care nothing for the holiday in itself, but it seems to us that the Faculty has no moral right to disregard days which the whole nation celebrates.

This report is recommended to the attention of any who desire to go back of the outward form, and understand the principles that are at work in making Harvard University what...
...well to have poverty the ground of association. Secondly, for hasty meals in a hot, crowded, vulgar room, under circumstances which make polite observances difficult and social enjoyment impossible, would be substituted a decent and comfortable service which would promote good manners and good fellowship. Thirdly, the moral effect of living in that superb Hall could not but be good. It is by far the grandest college hall in the world, and there are very few rooms for secular purposes in existence which can be compared with it. Built to keep alive precious examples of brave devotion to country, truth...
