...Penal Laws' of this early code are rigorous in the extreme, covering twenty-four sections of one chapter. This is in marked contrast to the present spirit which has not excluded the mention of a penalty in connection with any particular irregularity. A student masquerading "in woman's apparel" was liable to expulsion. "If any scholar unnecessarily frequents taverns." "profanely curse, swear," "play at cards or dice" he was liable to a fine for a fresh offence and to all the terrors of the law for continuance in his misdemeanor.

...blind, unreasoning method of utter silence impressed on every man in the university boat. Harvard is not afraid to do her work openly and is not afraid of giving us points, whether in her favor or ours. She tries to win and frequently accomplishes that end without a code of unwritten law on the concealment of interesting and valuable information.

That a man should have so little sense of honor as to deliberately copy sentence after sentence from a book, or degrade another man by hiring him to write his theme, indicates a code of morals which is difficult to understand. At last a man has been detected in this practice, and it is said, has been expelled from the University. While it is far from the wishes of the CRIMSON to try in any way to palliate the offence, we must agree with a growing...
