...after all exclusively the "true." Care was taken to recall the old position of Harvard in the question of classics, and to draw the conclusion so natural to a man of Yale that, because Harvard no longer occupies her old position she is per se in a wrong position. The claim was again advanced that Yale is the national college, and as such stands foremost among all the colleges in this land. Dr. Porter spoke at some length on the religious influence of Yale, and declared that everywhere the public demand is "that our young men shall have the side...
...have not sufficient insight to be able to judge of the merits of the students taking their courses, without having recourse to the percentage system, why let them keep it up for those men who are trying for scholarships.

Each is in duty bound steadfastly to set forth his side, if he thinks that thereby...
...which is timely and worthy of consideration. Civil service reform is attracting much attention in political life at present, and with justice. It is the important question of the day. College men, and we refer particularly to Harvard undergraduates, have little or no real knowledge of the right and wrong of the matter, and the Advocate's suggestion of a course of lectures on the subject by prominent civil service reformers, is very pertinent. Cannot the authorities of the college, or some one of our energetic societies, take the matter up and give us a course of interesting lectures...
