SEVERAL of our professors have entertained parties of students during the past year, and we hope that they feel well enough satisfied with the experiment to make it a custom in future. The number of students who have been favored is comparatively small; but such social advantages would be valuable to all students, especially to those who do not have access to Cambridge society. Many Harvard men have no friends in the neighborhood of Boston, and are thus deprived of society at a time when it would be of the greatest benefit to them. There are many, also...
...referring to this time-honored college custom I said that a great responsibility rested upon popular men, inasmuch as many of their admirers would imitate their actions; and, to use a strong illustration, I said that if Swellington got drunk, Gosling, even though he did not like the taste of liquor, would follow his friend's example. This is the statement that "D" challenges.

...differs essentially from one practised in the prize-ring. The presence of several spectators in braided coats and "bell trousers" did not speak highly of the good taste and discrimination of some members in disposing of their complimentary tickets to such friends. If this evil arises from the custom introduced this year of selling tickets, it should be stopped, or it might perhaps be remedied by requiring all members to indorse with their own names the tickets they give to their acquaintances. Heretofore the distinctive feature in all college sports has been the absence of the professional and rowdy element...
