Last Monday night, according to the improved custom, was celebrated by a large minority of the members of this University in a way that perhaps was highly satisfactory to their desire for "free drink." Thus the college year was opened under auspices of which every true son of Harvard must feel intensely proud, for in the orgy of that interesting evening he must see a thoughtful devotion to the good name which Harvard has hitherto possessed, arguing well for the glory of her future...
Yale undergraduates were astounded on Wednesday by the appearance of the members of the Skull and Bones Society, with their badge pins on their breasts instead of on their neckties, where according to the old tradition they could alone be worn. Explaining this custom and the change, the New Haven News says: "Alongside of it has grown up a system of actions and many ways dubbed 'poppycock' by the college world at large.

It is our custom, during the year, to select two members of the freshman class to our editorial board. And in order that we may decide on those two, it is necessary that we should have contributions from a great many. Editorials, articles on athletics, or other subjects of interest, communications and "Facts and Rumors" will be welcomed by the board. Let no one be discouraged if his first essays do not find their way into...
