...rude in any way, they are looked down on by all the other classes. Perhaps, however, one of the reasons of their unpopularity is the fact that they come here no longer as boys, and are not willing to be treated as such. They do not recognize the upper classmen as a superior race, and they dislike especially to be sneered at by men who were so recently in the same position, i. e. by Sophomores...
...members of the class in putting a stop to this unmanly proceeding is commendable. When a heedless crowd try to revive a custom that college men have frowned upon for the last four years, and so far forget the sentiment of the College to-day, as to "bulldoze" lower classmen, it is time to recall them to their senses.

...chief complaint is that under-classmen have of late fallen into the habit of making themselves somewhat free in the rooms which have been loaned to graduates on Commencement Day, and have also felt it incumbent on themselves to fill quite a number of seats at the Alumni dinner. This conduct, though in the first instance it may be the result of thoughtlessness on their part, still is unpardonable, and it would be well in future for students who contemplate indulging in this kind of pastime, to pay a little regard to the feelings of the graduates. For they must...
