...moral results of this scheme were excellent, but yet the contribution-box was never empty; and I put in the most money, for the provocations to profanity which an ingenious chum can invent are infinite. But although there was always some money in the box, it seemed to me that pretty large amounts disappeared regularly, and I was at a loss to account for them, until I detected my chum in subscribing for the latest scientific work by Cowan, and paying for it out of the charity-fund. I earnestly remonstrated, telling him I thought Mr. B -, the agent...
...business of the Convention then took a moral turn, and a committee of three - Thayer, Whitridge, and Hartwell - were appointed by the chair to stop pool-selling at the regatta.

But as this uncultivated class is not supposed to exist in the "headquarters" of refinement and intelligence, these remarks apply only...
...this question, squarely faced, does not afford ample scope for profitable reflections on the past and good resolutions for the future. We have two extremes in college to whom a consideration of this subject would be highly advantageous, - the one easily recognizable, and in fact the ordinary object of moral disquisitions; but I would refer more particularly to the other, namely, to men who sometimes take the highest college honors. Thanks to the system of instruction now practised in the college, a man may pass through his entire course, under the complete dominance of other minds, and while obtaining oftentimes...
