...which through long standing have become recognized as unassailable and beyond the student's reach. With the advent of warm weather we may expect to hear a few smothered imprecations over matters which, though to the freshman eye enormous evils, have become perfectly adapted to the Harvard condition of calm, admiring and independent indifference. It is needless to say that we refer, not to the pump, it is true, nor to that summer boarder, the mucker, who like the poor, is always with us, but to the "state of the yard." Coolness and audacity are necessary to approach this subject...
