...have ox, sheep, calf, swine, on the one hand, to designate the thing produced, all Saxon-and, on the other, beef, mutton, veal, pork, all Norman-French-to indicate the thing consumed. In the same way while the names of the various grains continue Saxon as well as the product of the inferier kinds when ground, as oatmeal, barleymeal, ryemeal, yet that which was used by the higher classes gets a foreign name-flour. Thus we find a principle of caste established in our language by the mere necessities of the case. To bury remains Saxon, because everybody must...
...capacities of the soul. But remember that your highest duty to your University begins when your immediate connection with it ceases,- that every scholar is bound to become in turn a teacher, a missionary of the higher culture, showing its beauty in his life no less than in the product of his mind, carrying that lamp of enthusiasm which you have kindled here into the dusky chambers of ignorance and into the drearier darkness of a belief in merely material prosperity.

The reaction came: the public declared that this was all wrong, that without health, knowledge was of little account. The needs of the body were made prominent, the student turned athlete, and now the university product...
...much better the music is here than elsewhere. Indeed, so far as we are aware, no non-sectarian college in the country except Harvard has adopted the boy-choir system. It is common in England and is there carried to its greatest perfection. The present choir is the product of a slow but steady growth of more than ten years under the careful, skillful training of Mr. Locke. In the time of early, compulsory chapel the music was enough to freeze a man's soul; now it is an excellent aid in the work of the chapel...
