...that the whole system of Harvard is wrong, that from its very position the University must have a fatal effect upon the characters of large numbers of men within its walls, that the attitude of the faculty is one of connivance rather than of active warfare against vice. So far, however, from accepting what this person says of Harvard, detecting immediately the animus of the article, we find so much of exaggeration that the writer's statements become absurd. The writer speaks first of one man in twenty as belonging to the "set" he is describing. Placing the total number...
...orchestra showed its great techinal skill and wonderful finish in the "Leonore, No. 3." overture. The violin passages in the conclusion were played with an exactness which can never be excelled.

Several attempts have been made to hold the regular autumn hare and hounds runs, but so far, the days appointed have turned out very wet and muddy, and it has been necessary to postpone them...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- If I may judge anything from the showing which the freshman eleven has made in its match games so far this season, the chances for final victory with Yale '92, are not the brightest imaginable. The members of the freshman class would have no cause for complaint if it were perfectly sure that the men on the team are the best the class has. They are, doubtless the best men of those who are trying for the team, but there are some men training for the crew who have come here with wellestablished reputations as football players...
