...absence of college men from public life, always a cause of more or less comment and wonder, has recently, by a high authority, been particularly mentioned and regretted in reference to Harvard. All of us, I think, regret it, and many of us are ambitious to some day increase the number of Harvard's delegation to Washington; but we all feel that there is too little provision here made to fit us for such honorably useful positions as those at which, it is to be supposed, this ambition aims.

...faithfully to smother all the vice that is in our midst; that our instructors are Christian gentlemen who are ably seconding our efforts; and that the most discouraging thing we have to contend with is the ungenerous action of those who raise their virtuous voices to call in the public, whenever our efforts have for a moment hailed...
