...blame them for wishing to disguise their real sentiments on light solferino or a mongrel pink? It is amusing on Regatta days to observe the variety of shades donned by Harvard's friends. They range from a delicate pink to a crimson so dark as to be almost maroon. If some one of our sister colleges with a similar color - and there are such - should make her appearance on the river as a powerful rival, would there not ensue "confusion worse confounded...
...many luckless Harvard men are there who have promenaded that seemingly endless street in Springfield in the almost hopeless search for a bit of magenta ribbon! "None," "Not any," "Don't keep it," were the answers from those scores of dry-goods stores. Can any good come out of Springfield? In the best-looking store of all, in answer to inquiries, some pink ribbon was produced, some scarlet, some maroon, some purple braid! and finally, - last hair which broke, etc., - "Would n't some of this red tape do?" Were we the victims of a prodigious joke? We made...
...Undergraduates - almost every student being present - met on Monday evening in Massachusetts, to take action upon the death of Professor Agassiz. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Mackintosh, '74. Mr. Richmond, '74, was elected Chairman, and Mr. Curtis, '75, Secretary.

Yet perhaps I am wrong in this; perhaps the Freshmen are mindful of the fact, but think that all that is essential to success at the next race is to elect a captain, a man almost wholly ignorant of rowing, and to enter a crew in the Fall Races so good as to show that, if proper measures are taken, the class can send out a crew which will retrieve the disgrace of last year...
...laurel cross and wreaths surmounting the black hangings, behind and above the pulpit, and the dark drapery festooned along the galleries and caught up alternately by boughs of evergreen and by calla-lilies, gave to the whole Chapel an air of mourning, and yet of hopeful and of almost triumphant mourning, which every one there must have felt to be most appropriate. The form of service used at King's Chapel - the one which Agassiz himself preferred, we believe - was read by the Rev. Dr. Peabody. The singing, under the direction of Mr. Paine, was by the Glee Club; they...
