...herd, to transform himself into a burlesque imitation of the blase European. Harvard men are particularly liable to this temptation. Their education is more cosmopolitan - if I may use the word - than any other on this continent, and the name and prestige of their college gives them a perfectly proper feeling of pride, not unlike that which any man feels who is fortunate enough to belong to a distinguished family. Family pride is one of the best things in the world. There is nothing like it for keeping up a strong feeling of self-respect. If your name...
SOMETHING has been written, and more has been said and thought, on the subject of proper fire-escapes for the various buildings in the Yard, but still the Corporation have taken no action in the matter, - at least to all outward seeming.

Let us hope that more of them will try the effect...
...that outside bodies are divided as to what they should do; then, if these latter begin to recognize that there are claims, although coming from beyond the limits of each one's own society, which are worthy of their consideration, if they begin to show a kindly and proper regard for each other's rights (as the members of any one society are perfectly justifiable in doing), denounce their proceeding as "bargaining"; stigmatize the majority, when your candidates are defeated, as a "coalition"; loudly declare that you stand immovably on the principle of "intrinsic fitness" (yourselves being the judges...
