...they follow the paths of their so-called duty with a ghoulish glee that is positively sickening. There are certain papers in Boston which seem to make a business of filling up their columns with false trash about Harvard whenever they are hard up for stuff.

If every man would save a certain sum-more or less, according to his means-which he would otherwise spend uselessly, and devote that sum to the University Crew, we are sure he would never regret it.
