...said that, as the day last June was a success, and as every one had a delightful time, why go back to an old worn-out custom, since the innovation was not a failure? But did any one say that they had had enough of it? Did any one feel pleased that they had been compelled to confine their enjoyment to the evening, instead of being able to amuse themselves throughout the day? I think...
...crew, and told our lady friends how proud we were to belong to the college whence came such noble heroes. Now, however, that we have returned to college, and have come in contact again with these heroes, where they could see and appreciate our admiration and gratitude, and feel rewarded by it, we have forgotten all this gladness. We don't care now about boating or ball. Now we look upon the men who will pull away all winter on those machines just to get on the crew, or pass ball all winter in the Gymnasium just...

...class of '81 seems to need roughing less than any class that has come to Harvard for several years. Certainly it is not so painfully "cocky" as are most Freshman classes. Indeed, some of the class seem to feel that upper classmen consider them beneath their notice. For the consolation of such modest men we would say that unless a man gives himself away by knocking at the door of U. 5, or by calling the instructor "professor," he is not looked upon as an inferior being by any except senseless Sophomores. We are all liable to be taken...
