"The Report (page 12) suggests for all the undergraduates of Harvard College freedom in regard to attendance upon recitations, lectures, and religious exercises"; and further along he adds, "We all know that he" [the undergraduate] "should arrive at that freedom at some time; the only question is when." We agree with him exactly. He thinks young men, collegians from eighteen to twenty-two years of age, incompetent to decide upon such matters. This is a question open for discussion...

And then, when you went to ride with that cousin of yours, though we all know the horse took his own time when you were off on the back roads, how you straightened up as you drove down into the village, and reasoned with that horse (illustrating liberally with cuts) to so good purpose that he tore through the main street of the village at a rate that brought half the population...
