Excerpt from The Yale Literary Magazine, Vol. 27: October, 1861
We may now turn to our proper theme, and, discarding all further objections to the system itself, consider the distinctive benefits to which it gives rise in the mind of Yale. We note at once its power to call out mental toil. An outgrowth so obvious, yet so valuable, must chal lenge respect. From the trivial rewards and mimic honors of early childhood, to the end of life, the prize system, when duly curbed, pro motes eager, continuous, liberalizing toil. The mind is impelled to the most diligent and the most discriminating processes of which it is ca pahle, by an educating and imperial power.
