...expect such as these to regard the wishes of the students, unless those wishes are expressed either in the "Explosive orotund" of gunpowder, or in the swelling choral tones that come from "One equal temper of heroic hearts" bound to be heard or smash something? Now. there is no doubt, but that our morning chapel is a most impressive service, one for which the Powers That Be may well be praised; there is also no doubt but that organized mischief-making and disturbances such as now and then break out at the services of half the colleges in this country...
...principal fault with Memorial now is the fact that all the applicants for board cannot be accommodated.

...tattooed man of the white plume. At the South End we got stuck in the mud and had not our eyes at this instance caught sight of an orange and black '87 banner flying before us in the hands of some young lady admirers, there is no doubt that many a gallant warrior would have fallen behind in the hands of Pharisees and Mugwumps to be brought before that terrible tribunal the "Executive Committee of the Committee of One Hundred...
