...many of the students understand the possibilities of enjoyment afforded by a Saturday afternoon in town? Don't be frightened by the conundrum, or astonished at the seeming absurdity of the supposition that Harvard students can be ignorant in such a particular.

Suppose that Massachusetts were to be pulled down and sold for old bricks, would another aged brick building, if moved to its place, inspire us with the same interest and affection which we now feel towards that venerable pile...
