...faculty's address to the students, which we print in another column, is by far the most satisfactory action that body has taken this year. It is almost always the case that any disagreement between faculty and students is largely owing to a misunderstanding of each other's position. Such a statement as this last on the part of the faculty cannot fail to have a good effect, as it shows that their position is a just one. The main body of the students are no less anxious than the faculty that the good name of the college be preserved...
...noticing them at all, did not such an attack as has been made call for the severest censure. The Andover base-ball nine is famous for never being suited with any umpire except their own, nor ever being able to yield like gentlemen to defeat.

If the whole college had turned out en masse to welcome their return to Cambridge and had spent an hour in the wildest expression of joy, such action would not have exceeded the demands of college patriotism. For whatever of this took place I have nothing but approval. But I consider it outrageous that through the whole evening and far into the night such an infernal noise should be kept up that no man who had studying to do could...
...these suggestions, however, fail to receive the approval of the board, we trust this last one will be carefully considered before final action is taken. We propose, that on the first of every month the Stewart, the chief cook and the head waiter, assemble in the transept, place a cauldron of boiling soup in their midst, and then, joining hands, turn slowly and majestically around it, shouting the chorus in "Macbeth" beginning...
