...furthered or thwarted by this trip depends on the conduct of individual men on the clubs and the impression they give. Disorder will counteract the testimony of graduates and the work of the Faculty; good behavior will go further to disprove sensational attack on Harvard morals than scores of verbal replies...

He is touched with some of the verbal diseases that afflict the poet of his admiration--the excessive use of abstract terms, and the reluctance to tell us precisely and specifically what he is talking about. The wistful melody of the same contributor's verses have somewhat of this same defect of vagueness. H. Hagedorn...
