...college, but this is not to be feared in the case of an institution which is growing as rapidly as ours. In fact, Harvard is the only college in New England which has attained any great increase in size during the past ten years. Sometimes, although not often, there is a deficit for one year, as the result of some unusual outlay...
...learning, there are diverse reasons, more or less radical and cogent, more or less obscure or plain. First of all, this temper is a reaction against the spread eagle and unkempt oratory of frontier and semi-civilized congressmen in the old days whose deliverances in the Capitol were often grotesque and amusing - speech run mad and descending into oblivion in a very whirlwind of sound. Diseased oratory should give place to orators duly taught by our colleges, which exist to teach uses. It is treason to the republic to send untrained orators into the forum, since the will of many...

The speaking at commencement would disgrace any other college than that one which so proudly holds such matters light.

As a rule the men who are selected to speak have had no elocutionary...

But there is always a certain feeling of disapprobation accompanying anything of this sort when at the close one finds that the author does not wish to connect his name with...
...amount not covered by gate receipts and subscriptions, $2857.40, is met by glee club and miscellaneous receipts. These figures show that the subscription fiend, with his little book, is quite a striking personage at Yale - in fact many of the students think he strikes too often. When any of the teams are winners, an extra call for funds is made so as to present them with trophies. The amount spent for athletics by Yale men, individually, cannot, of course, be computed, but it is safe to figure that it would carry the yearly aggregate somewhat beyond the $25,000 mark...
