...surprising to find how decidedly "fresh" even Harvard students can be occasionally. The sort of performance that occurs more or less regularly at Memorial Hall when visitors are in the gallery, and which was particularly objectionable last night must be stopped. If as is evidently the case, there are many men in the Hall so ill-bred that they do not know enough to treat strangers with civility, the gallery should be closed. Better keep visitors out altogether than let them in to shock them...
...this time the ethical conceptions were very imperfectly developed, but now the growth of an ethical motive began. Homer represented the dead in an under world, and beyond Oceanus. The Erinnyes were mentioned as the punishers of perjurers after death. We find also accounts of the sufferings of the Titans for evil done during their lives.

When compared with the different colleges individually, Harvard leads...
...victory. But newspaper calculations are not infallible and we firmly believe that one feature of the eleven's work has not been given due consideration. It is the superior team-play which has been developed. In this and in the grit and courage of our men we must find our strongest hopes for success. Every man of us should go to the field this afternoon, saying not "Can we win?" but "We must...
