...expecting to see something curious, as it is the only college or would-be academy of the Protestants in all America; but we found ourselves mistaken. In approaching the house we neither heard nor saw anything mentionable; but going to the other side of the building we heard noise enough in an upper room to lead my comrade to suppose they were engaged in disputation. We entered and went up stairs, where a person met us and requested us to walk in, which we did. We found there eight or ten young fellows sitting around, smoking tobacco, with the smoke...
...SIMPLE question, certainly. Easy enough to answer if we mean to inquire what Harvard is in a legal point of view; but if we wish to know what Harvard is, considered as an educational institution, we find a difference of opinion. "Harvard is a University," says the Freshman, who has been here just long enough to have learned that the modesty which pauses to knock at the Secretary's door is not regarded with favor by that officer. Longer experience, however, often tends to disturb this conviction, and in the mind of an upper-classman it becomes softened into...
...instituted the rush around the tree, '76 would have done away with it and no murmur would have been heard. Had '74 started the custom of delivering the very superfluous "Ivy Oration," '75 would have seen at once that one oration in a day ought certainly to be enough for men of moderate desires, and on their Class Day no such useless proceeding would have been gone through with.

A fight took place between the Sophomores and Freshmen under the windows of the New Haven House, and was viewed with interest by the "ladies" of that hostelry. The college authorities inconsiderately interfered...
...necessity beset those of us who, with blind infatuity, clothe ourselves; in garments made by English tailors; with unerring instinct they have discovered, and with overwhelming force have stated, the danger of having our furniture made on such demoralizing principles as those laid down by Eastlake. But is this enough to reclaim us from the evil of our ways? Are there not many other besetting sins weighing us down that should be corrected, lest we "leave college self-esteemed oligarchs, with neither the power nor the inclination to exert a superior influence for good upon others...
