...that beautiful suburb of London, Harrow, and also of its famous preparatory school. Harrow and Eton are the two great English preparatory schools, and are characterized, only to a lesser extent, by the same rivalry and spirit of contention that the great universities of Cambridge and of Oxford display towards each other. Harrow is among schools a venerable patriarch, being founded in 1571, but still is obliged to assume the humble position of younger brother with reference to Eton, which came into existence about one hundred and thirty years before its present rival...

...Another point which the students engaged in the melee should have remembered is, that the faculty may think it unwise to entrust the control of student matters to a conference committee, of whose members many are to be drawn from the two classes chiefly at fault in the recent display of boyish thoughtlessness. We feel sure that the scenes of Thursday night will not be enacted again, yet that they should have been enacted at all cannot fail to be a source of deep concern to those who have at heart the advancement of the cause of student government...
