...easy to see how difficult it is for individuals to struggle against the state, in view of the number of its pupils, its influence, and the resources it commands. Up to the present time none but religious organizations have sustained with any success an opposition to this University instruction, and you can easily understand that this is not a state of things to be proud of; for, notwithstanding the abuses of our national system, I much prefer secular and university education to jesuitical and clerical...
...cards were found to have mysteriously disappeared from the board placed to receive them. Convincing evidence showed that some Freshmen must have been guilty of the deed, and the enraged Juniors resolved, if possible, to fix upon the man.
