...indecent gibes of a herd of low muckers who heaped insult on defeat. Such a state of affairs is greatly to be deplored and needs but to be brought clearly before the minds of Harvard students in order that its recurrence may be prevented. It will be urged, no doubt, that our nine receives the same treatment, and that every other nine is in the same position, when defeated on a field away from home.

...will never occur again such an unorganized celebration as was witnessed night before last. A most deservedly popular Glee Club concert was spoiled not only by the howls of the predominating muckers and roughs, [roughs being as I understand it, adult muckers]: but also by the injudicious, although no doubt well intended discharge of firearms, and blowing of cornets and horns by enthusiastic students...

I have encountered none of the "bitter feeling" which "'90" states as existing and I doubt if any such exists. The statement that the crew are in need of money is rather stretched, as I know for a fact that the class has subscribed most generously to it, the amount from subscription alone being greater than ever before, and in addition to this sum, the amount given from the proceeds...
