...Glee Club are to be hereafter excused from Rhetoricals. "The entire Musical Association is to be divided into three classes, members of the Glee Club constituting the first class, all those who can read music readily, including the members of the elementary class of last year, compose the second class, and the remainder the third class.

WHEN the orator of the class of '76 told us the story of the last rush between Sophomores and Freshmen, we thought we should never hear anything more about hazing at Harvard. It is true that Princeton undergraduates still indulge in this old-time custom, and that the Faculty at Yale think it best to suppress the publication of the residences of Freshmen in view of the periodical cruelty of the Sophomoric soul; but hazing at Harvard we expected to see only in the pictures of "Student Life," or in the columns of the Boston Transcript...

Indeed, some of the class seem to feel that upper classmen consider them beneath their notice. For the consolation of such modest men we would say that unless a man gives himself away by knocking at the door of U. 5, or by calling the instructor "professor," he is not looked upon as an inferior being by any except senseless Sophomores. We are all liable to be taken...
