...account of certain proceedings in a certain freshman course has just reached our ears; an account which would seem to check our aspiring hopes that we all who are now in college are men. Can we believe that even freshmen would have the childishness, even if we must think common courtesy lacking, to rise in the midst of the recitation and leave the recitation room? When we learn that the recitation room was none other than the instructor's own room, and the cause of the exodus a mere quibble, our respect for such very fresh freshmen reaches the zero...

We trust that next week will see the annual trails around the outskirts of Cambridge...
...inactivity has abated in no wise its powers. The college cannot but be interested in the success of its work, and we therefore tender the league our best wishes for the active and successful co-operation of the whole university to meet with any considerable success. It is certain from the vigorous action of the present corps of officers, that this condition will now be reversed. There are no societies in the university which deserve a more lasting support than this, for it stands alone as the single society whose object is in any way related to temperance. A course...
