...when betrayal of that trust, means dishonor and disrepute among his fellows, he is under stronger guard than when a proctor is stationed over him. A student who would crib under such circumstances, deserves social ostracism by students, and public expulsion by the faculty. If a strong sentiment could be established in college supporting an opinion such as the above, in regard to cribbing when men are allowed full liberty, the removal of proctors from the examination rooms could be attended by no danger. We believe that these opportunities given by a few of the professors, will do much...
...less patriotic when he elects to ape our English cousins in dress and mode of speech, though he certainly puts himself in the ranks of those who would introduce a ridiculed but yet dangerous element in our society life. He is unpatriotic when he voices the sentiment that "Americans have grown wise and prosperous by adopting the ideas and customs of other nations"; for to say this is to slight those principles which every true American loves to think of as the cause of his country's greatness.

We urge members of the college to make use of our columns in expressing...
...signs of "religious decadence" at Harvard, and I have never said that I did. Nor do I think that Harvard "is a hot-bed of incipient nihilism, scepticism, lying and irreligion." What I do say and think is this. Compulsory prayers are a positive injury to the religious sentiment of the college. They are a mockery of religion held continually before our eyes. They create disrespect for religion and furnish the readiest and most fertile subject for the expression of that disrespect. I do not say that irreligion is any more prevalent at Harvard than elsewhere, but I do believe...
