...once like those of Oxford and Cambridge, which are essentially different from each other. Secondly, granting that Trinity is more like an English university in its curriculum than our other colleges are, what connection has this fact with the necessity of Latin prayers? The English universities have kept a custom which originated in their Roman Catholic days, and are excusable for so doing; an American college, in adopting this custom without the least reason, would merely lay itself open to ridicule for its absurd anglomania. The affectation of talking about the "grandeur and solemnity" of the Latin service...
Sumner was a member of the Hasty-Pudding Club, and it was on his motion that the first catalogue of that club was prepared. When a Senator, it was his custom to make additions to the Pudding library. He and eight classmates formed themselves into a secret society, known to themselves as "The Nine," a title which has since been usurped.

...glad to learn that the interest in music is reviving in college. The Glee Club and the Pierian Sodality both begin the year with nearly full ranks.

WHEN the orator of the class of '76 told us the story of the last rush between Sophomores and Freshmen, we thought we should never hear anything more about hazing at Harvard. It is true that Princeton undergraduates still indulge in this old-time custom, and that the Faculty at Yale think it best to suppress the publication of the residences of Freshmen in view of the periodical cruelty of the Sophomoric soul; but hazing at Harvard we expected to see only in the pictures of "Student Life," or in the columns of the Boston Transcript...
...action of certain 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. The gentlemen, no matter what society they belong to, who have the high-toned feeling and the pluck to stop any attempts at hazing deserve the thanks and the respect of the whole College...
