...their four years awakens such men from a contemplation of their own remarkable abilities, to contend with a world which will handle them without gloves, and of which they are absolutely ignorant. Men intending to enter any active pursuit, to attain success in which will require all their time and powers, will probably never have more time at their disposal than here; and yet how few ever think of doing any of that general reading, without a knowledge of which no man can be said to be truly cultivated, not to say educated. To how many is our library merely...
...there are two plans talked of, the latter of which is considered by far preferable, if practicable. The first plan is to meet each club separately at some city equidistant from the two colleges. This would necessitate an outlay of money rather larger than desirable, and would also consume time which would be hard to obtain.

It may be said that prices are much lower one hundred and fifty miles back in the country than near a large city. This...
...neglect by those having the highest authority in the matter, we will simply state the fact that we have now been members of the Club nearly three years, and that during this time not a single member of the Faculty has entered the place where the constitutions, the manners, and, in some degree, the characters of one half the young men intrusted to their care were being formed...
