...will find that about nine tenths of the fellows that you meet have limited their ambition for the last few years by the entrance examinations. When those are once passed, they see no reason for further exertion; and they are so anxious to acquaint themselves with the new phase of existence which they erroneously term life, that they find no time for anything else. Their college work is sure to be neglected. Their half-stupid, half-mischievous, wholly careless behavior in the recitation-rooms is sure to exasperate their tutors to the point of numerous warnings...

It is very seldom, indeed, that an article appears in the Advocate or Crimson from which the public can get an erroneous impression of any phase of our college life.

Generous, open-hearted, thoroughly independent, yet always careful to respect the feelings of others, he was incapable of degrading...
...shooting the young idea in this direction may be not out of place. To carry out the humorous idea of the book, the instructor should lay down his opinions as decisively and finally as the judge on the bench. He is to assume dogmatism in its most absolute phase, and establish a terrorism over the minds of his pupils. Is it for a learner to state objections? By no means. Shall we doubt anything? Not at all. But, to carry dogmatism to its extreme verge, he is at stated intervals formally to proclaim liberty of opinion and invite freedom...
