...detur if my health holds out. It gives me great pleasure to inform you that your fears in regard to the depravity of Harvard life were entirely groundless. I have seen nothing of the immorality of which we read in the columns of the Middlebury Monitor. Of the success of the higher education for women here, I can speak only words of praise.

It is hard to see the advantages of a college legislature, in which imaginary bills, committees on imaginary business, and all the intricate measures of a legislature, are imitated. Indeed, we do not believe that the members of the Union would long maintain their interest in such proceedings. The opportunity...
