...make a record worthy of a juvenile athletic association. Here are several grand opportunities of securing with firmer hold the collegiate championship cup. Let the new athletes think upon it and enter this spring, if only as an experiment. Neither of these events require much practice in comparison with those more in vogue, and they receive an equal reward...
...marked paper has been sent to us in which there is the report of a sermon of a celebrated divine. The reverend gentleman undertakes to show that the state of morals of Harvard suffers by comparison with that of colleges where co-education exists.

The implied comparison of case with the treatment accorded such poets as Keats by the public is not only silly, it is presumptuous. And although we believe there is a reaction setting in in public sentiment against such an extreme of ridicule as has previously been showered upon him, and however much one may feel...
