...that have come to our notice, the men belonged to the society last year, but have not renewed their subscriptions. The year is now so far advanced that these men can no longer plead forgetfulness as an excuse. If they will stop and consider, they will see that their conduct, in the eyes of the college and the world at large, is remarkable, to say the least, and that the Co-op. will be justified in taking very stringent measures if the practice is not at once discontinued...
...goal ever kicked on Jarvis. Shortly after, an unfortunate incident marred the otherwise gentlemanly played game. A Yale rusher was disqualified by the referee for neglecting to beg the pardon of a man upon whose toe he had accidentally trodden. It was thought that on account of his indecorous conduct the faculty might withhold permission to play any more inter-collegiate games.

To such...
...show that he is not dealing merely with theory, Prof. Palmer shows by actual facts that "a manlier type of character actually appears as the elective pamphlet extends." The tone of what is proper at Harvard has changed during the past few years. A more elevated idea of gentlemanly conduct exists. "Hazing, window smashing, disturbing a lecture room, are things of the past." Desire for honors and ambition to gain good standing, have been quickened. The middleman in the freshman class in 1874-5, received an average mark of 59; the middle man of '84 gained...
