...Harvard is near Boston, whose papers are influential and on the whole give very fair accounts of doings here, while Yale is represented at home by very provincial publications, and New York is just far enough away to allow the news to become mixed in transition. But we also think that our Yale friends are in themselves partly to blame. The News, at least, is frequently guilty of great exaggeration, and of occasional misstatements, and if these are allowed to happen at home, they cannot find much fault if deceptive reports of their doings appear in the outside press...

If "cramming" be necessary for a man to just continue with his class, he will of course do it and do it with the same results we have indicated. The only way to change it seems to be to change...
...hence they have remained from year to year incapable of death from fear of statutory prohibition, and thus deprived of that welcome release which, if their unhappy lot had been otherwise, would long since have been theirs. However all this may be, it can hardly be disputed, we think, that long-continued and meritorious services should have earned them by this time a pension and retirement from all active service on half-pay, so that they might spend the rest of their days cropping the tender grass of some bleak New England pasture, or nibbling from well-kept stalls...
