...Oberlin Review brings us up very roundly for our audacity in hazarding the statement that the preparation required for entrance at Harvard, taken together with the prescribed work of the freshman year, amounts, probably, to as thorough a grounding in the leading departments of human knowledge as the entire course of many of our Western colleges affords. The Review confronts us with such a mass of statistics in reply as well nigh to appall us. Nevertheless, we are willing to accept the statistics with a good grace, and yet not recede from the essential point of our thesis. We instanced...
...natured. In the case at Trinity the chastisement inflicted by the seniors upon their sophomore prisoners, seems to have been absolutely barbarous and inexcusable. It is of course possible that the reports of the affair were exaggerated by the daily press; and, before a final judgment is given, the statement of the students themselves should be heard.

...Your statement that if some one should so far forget himself as to drink to excess at the hall, and be seen by some of the frequent visitors, Harvard would not only be severely handled by those who are always on the alert to find some fault, but would even be seriously misjudged by the many who are unprejudiced. But could not the same thing be said of men drinking anywhere, and do you not virtually say that the only safety lies in total abstinence...
