...first element in Yale life is a certain large minded and fair minded love of truth. Lux et veritas is our motto. But in the search after truth there are two tendencies. The seeker for fight, who finds a form of thinking handed down by the fathers, may accept it because of its very antiquity. Progress is the law of the world, let me be free from prejudices of old ideas. These tendencies are inharmonious. But the fair and large-minded man lies between these two. The man who follows that is a creature of hope and remembrance. He does...
...Massachusetts. We certainly would not say a word to discourage the use of wealth for the spreading abroad of education in any part of the world whatsoever. Such affection would ill befit us above all others, since we enjoy the highest of such advantages for learning. But we think more discretion might be observed in the manner of employing such an amount of money.

The ground for my belief in the unsuitability of the Thames course for three boats, is the statement to that effect that I heard last year from many skilled oarsmen. The CRIMSON acknowledges...
...impossible for three crews to race upon it with equal advantages of wind and tide. One crew must suffer at best; what, then, will the case be, should the weather be such as it was last year or if other unfavorable conditions should arise? We do not think of this when the Yale boat suffers but had it been our own, as it might at any time be, there would be fewer advocates of the admission of Yale, this year...
