...wish to call attention to the offensive character of an article in the last Advocate called "The Literary Set," and signed "Rac." As editors of a college paper, and some of those against whom the attack is aimed, we resent the slurs which the writer has seen fit to use. Were not the article in such bad taste, its weakness would prevent it from attracting any notice, but as it is it should not be allowed to pass by in silence. We are surprised that the editors of the Advocate should have published a production which has given just offence...
...least a legitimate journalistic enterprise, having some title to be called a representative paper. We are sorry that we cannot say as much of the Harvard Register. As long as Mr. Moses King confined himself to his proper sphere, the publication of guide-books, we refrained from making any attack upon him, even when he had the effrontery to put Harvard College on the title-page of his books. But now that he has invited criticism by coming forward as the sole editor of an alleged Harvard paper, we feel that we owe it to those of our readers...
...Beacon (from Boston University), enraged at a pleasant notice in the Advocate, indulges in a column and a half of abuse of the Exchange Editor of that paper.

Recitations were postponed. Hardly had McClure recovered, when he was seized with an attack of typhoid fever, and recitations were again postponed. The Faculty thought that things were looking pretty serious; but hoped that the fever would end the list of catastrophies...
...Advocate's attack on the Executive Committee seems a little ill-timed, when we reflect that the action of that committee was indorsed by a boating meeting, and when their reasons for "procrastination" are known by most men in college. It does not seem so difficult to apprehend why the Executive Committee should hesitate to bind the College to a race with Cornell, at present our most doughty adversary, when they foresaw as possible what has now happened. We are at a loss to know to whom the term "boating representatives" applies; if by it are meant the crew...
