...Decadence of the Harvard Spirit; A Conversation" by Hugh McCulloch. This article was fully discussed in an editorial published in the CRIMSON a day or two ago, and we have only here to say that it presents well and clearly, though at somewhat tedious length, a great though inevitable danger into which we have come through the tremendous growth of the University in late years, that danger being that as our numbers increase we gradually lose that flue "Harvard spirit" of quiet and sober gentlemanliness for which Harvard men have always been noted. "My Dryad" is a short poem...
...Tuesday this was evidently forgotten. We will admit that there were extenuating circumstances and yet they did not excuse certain features of the cheering. We have for the remainder of this month some peculiarly interesting games in store for us. It is enough to remind the college of the danger there is in carrying things too far and of the harm it does to us in the eyes of the public.

Apparently Harvard must suffer continually from the thieving of men who seem to make a regular profession of picking pockets, lockers and in fact of appropriating to themselves whatever they can safely lay their hands upon. It is useless to waste words in trying...
...been made after careful consideration. While we may at first regret that some subject could not have been selected which would bear a little more closely on college interests, it is perhaps on the whole better that the field should be a broader one. There will be less danger of stirring up ill-feeling, which might be aroused by discussions which would bring out prejudiced comparisons between the two universities. The present question is, too, one which will appeal to a very large number of people. It is a vast improvement over the last one, which in itself failed...
