...point, to our thinking, the success or failure of the whole thing depends. Admission must never be allowed to degenerate into a matter of favoritism between individuals or colleges. Secondly, the promotion of good fellowship and an amiable emulation between the different colleges, and, thirdly, the inauguration of a system whereby each college shall be made responsible for the authenticity of its own news. Furthermore, it wishes that the association be made inter-national as well as inter-collegiate, and that the Oxford and Cambridge Undergraduates' Journal and the Girton Review be invited to join...
...wonder, then, that Yale has become thoroughly imbued with the "thug" system, and it is now time for all colleges who discountenance such practises to unite in putting a stop to them. What I would advocate is a careful revision of the rules in all intercollegiate contests in which Yale takes part, so as to exclude all manifestations of "Yaleism."

That it has no drawback whatever has also been proved - and proved, too, by authorities which no American college of high or low degree has a right to disregard. The sooner Harvard University admits women upon exactly the same terms with Oxford the better...
...recent speech in New York, Dr. Crosby indulged at the same time in wholesale condemnation of several other tendencies of modern university life and methods, forming, as a Boston paper puts it, altogether a "strange mixture of sense and dogmatism." Among other things cried out against was the elective system, the stale stock arguments being brought up against it, and aimed very plainly against the particular case of Harvard. "He declares," says this Boston paper, "that an American boy of eighteen is not competent to select the studies which will give him the most valuable training or best...
