...many years to institute comparisons between this school and that connected with the Boston University. The latter undoubtedly enjoys the great advantage of close proximity to the U. S. Courts; but there is a danger that this attraction may draw the student from his regular study and, on the whole, the Harvard professors are content to have the undivided time and attention of their pupils. The methods of the two schools differ widely. The Boston school teaches the principles of the law by lectures and refers the student to cases for illustration, while the Harvard professor teaches the principles...
...Advertiser is very facetious over the Harvard-Yale negotiations. It says editorially: "The Harvard and Yale boat clubs exchange voluminous protocols and diplomatic notes, as if they were two great powers arranging a complicated treaty. The whole trouble is caused by the fact that Yale is to row in a boat slightly longer than Harvard's, so that there is a difficulty as to deciding how the boats shall start.

...drinking? Is the athletic contest before a miscellaneous crowd the best way to develop mental culture and moral health? Is it not even a very poor method of ministering to bodily soundness? Do athletes live long? Let medical men answer. I am ashamed to argue such a question. The whole business is demoralizing and directly inimical to the objects of a collegiate institution. Roughness, vulgarity, and the disgusting pretentiousness of Young America are the common results of the system. Let the college campus be the playground of the collegians, and let them there engage in any form of impromptu pastime...
