...graduates, and a few newspapers, warn Harvard against leaving the Association because of the "odium" which she will certainly incur by such a course. Fair Harvard will be dishonored, for-sooth, if a few penny-a-liners, through dearth of news, choose to call her motives of action base; Harvard will lose men's esteem, should she acknowledge her real feelings and cast aside all shuffling and timidity; Harvard, indeed, the oldest and largest university in the land, whose children hold - and have always held - the foremost places in the occupations of our countrymen, is to be disgraced, should...
...first number of this volume of the Crimson we expressed the opinion that Harvard could not honorably withdraw from the Rowing Association of American Colleges.

I should unhesitatingly commend this action of the Bursar if the post facto nature of the act were removed. To advertise one price, and, when the rooms are taken, to raise that price, is manifestly unjust. Two hundred and fifty dollars is not too much to be asked for Holworthy rooms, but I have looked in vain for a notice that the rent of other and very undesirable rooms - such as those...
...hoped that the members of the class of '77 will give this plan of erecting a class window their careful consideration, and if they arrive at a favorable conclusion concerning it, will not only evince their interest in the matter by taking the preliminary steps necessary for future action, but will also show their readiness to aid the work in a more substantial manner...
