...keep the yard free from obnoxious intruders. If the crowd of the "unwashed" who now frequent the yard were made to understand that they were, like beggars and pedlars, in danger of being "given in charge to the police," our class days, also, would be freer from a disagreeable element, who now regard class day as a public holiday of their...
...rule, and that prices paid to "shackers" had ruled much higher then at present. Still we can hardly believe that the average paid "shackers" under the new arrangement is less than before. That shacking is losing its attractions may be due to the fact that the element of chance is now divorced from the employment. We can hardly doubt that the fascination attaching to the chance of one day receiving a quarter in payment for his labor, although receiving the next day nothing but thanks, must be great to the youth of the street, educated in the school of dime...
...athletics might be allowed full powers to use their own discretion in the case of any proposed game. We can see no especial objection to the nine playing with the Boston Club, as in such games the audience is almost entirely composed of college men, and the professional element is almost entirely kept out.

But we do disapprove of our nine playing a series of games with a professional nine for a flag...
...half-dollar, but at every game there are many outside who could well afford the price of admission, and it is much to their discredit that they choose to show such an example of meanness. No words can be too strong to denounce such conduct. The "mucker" element is a disgrace to our games. They are, to be sure, strong Harvard partisans; but they are insulting to the visiting teams, and a good high fence would serve a very useful purpose in keeping them out. It seems to me very unjust for the faculty to crowd our grounds into...
...such an institution as the University of Michigan. The difference between the two types is expressed very inadequately by saying that at the one student life and ways of thinking have acquired certain common characteristics from the mere fact of the dormitory system, while at the other this element of college feeling is entirely lacking. How great an influence this institution has is more easily understood than expressed. That it would be the immediate effect of co-education to destroy this element of college life at Harvard, we do not believe; that such would be the ultimate result seems very...
