Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mr. Gray's Letter to Governor Lincoln on Harvard University Having a higher opinion of their sagacity than of their fairness, I rejoice in their fears. I disclaim all attacks on the personal character of any individual, or of any class, party, or sect. It is no uncommon thing to respect a man and not his arguments: or to respect the arguments and not the man. In speaking, therefore, of the arguments or pretensions advanced by any man or set of men, either in their own behalf, or in that of others, it is my intention to say what I think of the arguments and pretensions themselves, without the slightest reference to the private characters of those, by whom or in whose behalf they are urged. By the term enemies of the College, I do not mean any particular sect or party, for I know none, which allows any man to call it so; but I mean those, of whatever party or sect, who are united in hostility to the Institution. Nor do I apply this term to all, who have made complaints against the College. No doubt many of its friends have been deceived, and join in these calls for information from a sincere desire see its government properly administered. If any of the objections which I shall answer have been made both by friends and by enemies, the former will understand me as answering them in the spirit of friendship. But the tone, in which some of these calls are made does not please me, I do not admit the absolute right of anonymous writers to make any such call.
