...present prevalence of what is called Harvard slang. If we were for a moment to analyze the character of Harvard conversation we would find that slang, if we may so term it, has become a constant quantity in all that we say. Professors "cut" and students "crib." We elect "soft" or "stiff" courses. We get a "whooper" or "plucked" in consequence. We "grind up for the semis" and by means of "guff" and "gall" we "skin through." This really is entertaining but hardly elevating. But where shall we stop? Shall it be when the instructor says "Doncherknow?" or when...
...been the custom in past years to elect to the CRIMSON an editor from the freshman class at the period of the mid years. As election to an editorship is wholly competitive, all members of the freshman class who desire to be considered candidates for the position, are asked to contribute to our columns.

There are not enough men from the old '84 team left in college to make an election by them satisfactory; for if the election was at all close, say 4 to 3, there might be some hard feeling, and we want the season to open next fall...
...rests with us alone to show what we can do, and that we mean to play foot-ball now we have a chance. There is plenty of good material in college; but if we wish to beat Yale we must have a good captain. Unless the best man is elected to that position there is no especial point in having an eleven. So far no captain has been elected. The members of the eighty-five eleven have so far been unable to give anyone a clear majority. Why the eighty-five eleven should elect the captain for eighty-seven, nobody...
