...following is an extract of President Bartlett's speech: "Dartmouth College is not a university, and we do not want it one. We believe that one university in New England is enough, and there is, as James Russell Lowell said last fall, scarcely that. I do not think the so-called 'university' is practically such an institution. In my judgment, when young men choose their own branches, the gymnasium is the principal study...
...that the Bachelor's degree ought not to be disturbed in the possession of its ancient privileges. If it is a matter of small consequence, the innovators will act wisely by leaving the conservatives in possession of the old and betaking themselves to the new; the latter do not think it a matter of small importance.

They play the piano, dance, sing, or rather howl, and render themselves...
...students, says: - "To prevent the manifestations of rowdyism which every now and then break out at Princeton and other exclusively masculine colleges, the presence of girl students would do more than the police. It is safe to say that under the separate system the young men and women will think more about each other in a morbid way and there will be more attempts at clandestine correspondence and flirtation, than if they met each other every day naturally and simply in the class-room under the eye of the professors, and without the attraction of forbidden fruit...
