...their class dinner last spring will remember that it was then voted to publish the Poem, the Oration, and Mr. Pfeiffer's address, which were delivered on that occasion. Up to the present time very few of the pamphlets have been sold-too few in fact to pay even a small part of the cost for printing them. This bill must be paid in some way and the money will have to come from the class fund if the rest of the books are not sold. As the pamphlet is in itself an interesting souvenir and the price...
...rush" that marked the opening of Columbia College was not very creditable to the students or the institution that permits it. "Rushes" and hazing are two "sports" that all sensible men wish to see abolished. There is nothing amusing or instructive or smart about them.

...which of all days in the college year was devoted in times past to the exercise of systematic terrorism on the part of the Sophomores towards the Freshmen and the honored customs, once so faithfully carried out, are vividly brought before our minds by the epithet even now applied to this first Monday of our year, namely "bloody"-and epithet which is one of our inheritances from our ancestors. The term has lost its ancient meaning and significance. We do not regret that the days of hazing, of pitched battle between the classes, of unseemly rioting are practically...
