...unable to observe with appropriate ceremonies this day, but let us at least, the students of the college, remember as we pursue our daily walks today the sacrifice which our friends and relatives gladly underwent that our government might be kept firm and united. If we cannot show our appreciation of this sacrifice by annual ceremonies, we can feel as we sit within the hall erected to their memory that their deeds have been honored in a far better way than lies within our power...
...literature of the present century, but lack of time has made it impossible for any mention to be made of such writers as Tennyson, Longfellow, Browning, George Eliot, Thackeray, Dickens, Henry James, Jr., Emerson and Arnold. I give these names (many more, of course, could be added) merely to show how far short of what it should be, English viii. must always be, so long as only one hour a week is given it.

It was through no fault of the Harvard Club, however, that there was no inter-collegiate match this spring, for every effort was made to induce Yale, the University of Pennsylvania, and the College of the City of New York to put rifle teams into training...
...Classical Education" to be a cultivated man, it is true that nothing will give culture or, indeed, education so quickly as general outside reading. Whether it be supplemented by a college curriculum or manual labor it is the reading of books upon which we must found our cultivation. "Show me his books and I will tell you the man," is so true and invariably reliable that it is strange we do not take greater thought or care about what or how much we read. Some of us are bound to rank and marks, others to nothing...
