...over doubtful voters, so far as they can be won by the effect of enthusiasm. The Seniors of Harvard have no right in such a procession, if they bear their intended transparency. No gentleman has the right to say or do anything to the detriment of the man whose salt he is eating. The Senior Class is equally bound in honor not to attempt to defeat the object of the Republican procession; a thing which they will attempt if they thus proclaim their hostility to Mr. Blaine...

We are very witty now-a-days, and we write the prettiest of verses and the staidest and wisest of editorials, but where can be found a grain of that Attic salt that flavors the pages of the Harvard Register, of 1827, for example! There is to be found the freshness of sophomoric thought in all its glory; ideas and language that never halt; and as for self-consciousness and disingenuousness, not the least in the world...
