We have recently seen references in our exchanges to that much talked of Harvard indifference. The expression is so frequently used that it has become trite and almost lost the little signification which it originally possessed. It is generally regarded as referring to the want of class feeling among the students, and more especially to the personal independence which always characterizes a man capable of finding his own occupation and amusement. The disappearing of the childish ill-feeling toward men of a higher class, is one of the most potent indications of a university, and it seems strange that its absence should be regretted. That men, at a place like Harvard, should take little interest in the personal affairs of those about them, that they should be wholly absorbed in their own engagements, is very natural and easily understood. We are in the immediate vicinity of a great city, renowned for its social and literary brilliancy; a city with magnificent theatres and music-halls, and art galleries which receive the latest gems from foreign studios; we have at our command the best libraries in America, and with such opportunities as these, we do not feel the necessity of the old traditional college life, which contained much that is nonsensical and harmful. Many, too, are within a few hours' ride of home, and spend a good portion of their time away from Cambridge, rendering impossible the state of social life existing at the college of a small provincial town. However, while our enthusiasm may not be of the loud, vaunting kind, we certainly all entertain feelings of the warmest affection for the majestic old lady we are honored to call Alma Mater.
