...account. The college then showed its earnestness by deciding to take some active means to get rid of the culprits who committed the outrage. To go back upon this action would be to prove ourselves insincere. Our expressions of condemnation will have no weight if we are unwilling to act upon them. If we refuse to have the culprits exposed we must bear part of the blame, and our words of yesterday will have little meaning. We ought to have no sympathy for rascals whom we have so strongly denounced. They have shown themselves to be unworthy of Harvard...
...celebration of Saturday's victories was marred by acts of the most deplorable vandalism. The statue of John Harvard, its pedestal, and many of the buildings in the yard were defaced with duabs of paint-acts which seem to have been prompted by a spirit of deviltry rather than of enthusiasm. That outrages such as these could have been committed by any responsible Harvard man we think extremely unlikely, and on that account we believe them to have been committed either by an outsider or some freshman whose misguided reason has led him to forget that he is a Harvard...

Miss Palliser continues to carry off the honors of the presentation. Her interpolated songs, and the queen's song with the chorus and the quartette in the second act are the numbers received with most favor by the audience...
...honors of the evening were carried off by Mr. Sweeney, who acted with the same artistic reserve, yet brilliancy, as in the second comedy given by the same society last year. He was perfectly at home in his part, perfect in his make-up and especially good in the mystification scene in the second act. Mr. Tassin as d'Herbelin was good, and well up in his part, though at certain moments a little too enthusiastic...
