...would know just where they could buy the exact shade, and the enterprising shop-men of Saratoga could stock their counters with what was really Harvard's color, and not, as last year, sell quite another shade from the true one. Moreover, ribbon can be manufactured much more reasonably abroad; and the club ribbons furnished at a very reasonable price, and of satisfactory quality. Any large house would contract to furnish Harvard with all the ribbon needed, and then we could be sure of having it all alike. The suits, too, could be made there for less than is charged...
SELDOM does the saying "One must go abroad to learn the news" appear more pertinent than when applied to the events of college life. Not only may we find in almost any newspaper changes in college laws and customs, which are here regarded as mere possibilities, there stated as facts; but the account of events is so padded by the ingenious reporter that we hardly recognize them.

...fear of assessments we are assured need deter none, as they promise to be very small, and will grow smaller as the number of members increase. It is a well-learned lesson of our defeat at Saratoga, that we must make contests at home, if we would have champions abroad, and another year, we trust, will bring laurels to Harvard for well-earned athletic victories...
