...Holworthy's spread on Class Day, and hope to see you there. You know we have not met since that delightful summer which we spent together at Mt. Desert. You were a Freshman then. How long ago it seems, and how nice it will be to find you almost a Senior! Perhaps you are changed, too. Indeed, I am not sure that I should know you, for, what do you think? I had the misfortune to bow to a gentleman in the street, thinking it was you, and he came up and spoke...
...Class of '79 ceases its undergraduate existence and enters the ranks of the Alumni. That the class is considerably above the average in almost every respect, is a fact so well known in college that it does not need mention. Both in athletics and in scholarship its record has been an excellent one.

It is addressed to the student, and to the idler...
...ALMOST simultaneously with the appearance of the Crew hats, and those of the two Nines, the Lacrosse team come out with theirs. This seems to me an infringement of the well-understood feelings of the College towards those men who, by hard work and well-earned victories, have added so much to Harvard's credit. It is proper enough that these men should have what little distinction they can get out of their position, for it is the only reward their fellow-students can be stow upon them. The Lacrosse team is a good one, but they have never played...
