We would inform the students there that the presuming young man must be either some escaped lunatic if he has learned that Exeter is disliked here, or some vicious-minded youth who is desirous of doing Harvard all possible harm by advancing his own views or prejudices against a preparatory school to which he for some reason is hostile.

...influence was felt for generations after his death. The one principle of Socrates which we know is "All knowledge is virtue." Mr. Grote has done valuable service in refuting the common opinion held as regards the sophists. He shows that they had no share in corrupting Athenian youth.

These atoms of brass even go so far as frequently to run across the foot-ball field, to the annoyance...
...write, let them subscribe. The senior class does not enjoy a perpetual tenure of office, and it is time for the under classmen to do something. They are not boys, and should recognize their duties as men. At present it would seem they had found the fountain of perpetual youth, and that it had stunted their growth at the bib period of life...
