...danger need be apprehended that the elective would fail for lack of support; for a study whose practical value is actively appreciated is much more earnestly pursued than a purely theoretical one. This is shown by the Law School, where the work of the average student far exceeds that of the same person in college. And particularly ought an elective in law to be given in the Collegiate Department of this University, in whose Law School an elementary knowledge of law is indispensable. It must be acquired before entrance, for no time for it is given afterward, and without...
This preliminary study in Blackstone, Kent, or some similar text-book, can be much more profitably pursued under an instructor than by one's self; and the man who enters the Law School after having taken such a course has a much clearer understanding of his subject than one who has been over it alone, and is consequently enabled to profit more by his subsequent instruction.

But it may be doubted whether, even if he had not died so young, he would have had health vigorous enough to allow of his accomplishing this or any other wish that he might have had at heart.

...food but also insure a fair profit to the keeper of the boarding-house. If the price of food were raised to $5.50 or $6, those who are contented with or are obliged to put up with, the present grade of food, might form another association at the Divinity School Commons, perhaps, while the less in number at Memorial would be fully made up by attracting men who now pay $6 or $8 at private houses...
