...reason the excellence of the contest is far from marked. This is simply an attack upon the methods of instruction here pursued. In reply to such an attack, we can only say that the present method, while differing widely from the instruction which presents as its highest ideal a clarion cry and the famous "windmill act," is surely based upon the most fundamental rules of good speaking. Gentlemanly and dignified bearing, and full control of the vocal powers are certainly aims sufficiently elevated for even an elocutionist of the old school...
...this recurring change will undoubtedly be in the highest degree beneficial to the general work. Let the rebuke of the ardent west against godless Harvard now be modified in tone. What if university prayer meetings are less attractive to the students than evening celebrations, as our contemporary the Clarion complains? The liberality shown in the plan by which each leading denomination will be represented is worthy of more general observance, even among critics. The plan may not provoke a revival, but it will certainly strengthen a healthy spirit of religion. We wish the plan all success...
...uttered could avail. Jealous colleges, uttered the Pharasaical "Ah, ha!" Papers of which the past existence and actions had been anything but religious, caught the infection and sneered at that of which they knew nothing, and having used their war-worn phrases, passed them on to the Bungtown Clarion and sheets of a like stamp which flourish on the plains of Texas. According to this highly tinted fiction, Harvard is a hot-bed of incipient Nihilism and irreligion. Let us look at the question of irreligion for a moment. The statement on its face is a reproach...
...Year is surely come at last; and we have noted with surprise and admiration the evidences of the firm observance of good resolutions of the season. 1886 promises to be a marked year in the history of Fair Harvard. It has been ushered in without sound of clarion, it is true, but could clarion note add celebrity to an introduction so startling and gratifying? The Lampoon - we are overcome with pride in our brother's success - has actually succeeded in keeping, until the time of issuing the first number, a new year's resolution, to dress old jokes...
...wanted to send the Advocate the price of subscription. And, therefore, we are alarmed lest this praise may turn our sister's head. Still, perhaps, there is safety for the Advocate in the one sad fact which mars this otherwise perfect occasion of rejoicing. Where is the Bungtown College Clarion? And why is not its voice heard with all the rest? We are reluctant to think that jealousy of its contemporary has kept the Clarion silent. We strongly urge the Advocate to keep some of its valuable columns reserved, in the hope that, before the next issue, the lagging journal...
