Fortunately we undergraduates are well acquainted with this situation, so that the spectacle of the General peering anxiously from beneath the folds of an over sized hat should excite scarcely a second glance. For we too must stand in line at August's, unless by fraud or violence we can come at our pristine headgear. For those who would rather trust wit than muscle, the CRIMSON has devised a method of procedure, the mechanism of which is set forth in the news columns. We have had our mass meetings, we have had our victory; let us have co-operation...
...patriotism? Is dishonesty, for example, is the breaking of solemn treaties, is ruthless inhumanity to a weaker neighbor, justified by a belief that it will conduce to the prosperity of one's own people?

...parades in Boston and New York as "old fashioned," we are not to picture a good, old fashioned political riot such as Mr. Pickwick was accustomed to. On the contrary the parade this evening is to be carefully arranged and conducted. Modern election days are no longer marvels of fraud and diplomatic violence; but modern campaigns are almost as disgusting in their methods as the fraud of the old time elections. If the present fashion calls for sarcasm, petty arguing and calling of names by rival candidates and rival newspapers, sly attacks in print, then perhaps a torch-light parade...
