...Washington first took command of the armies fighting for "Liberty or Death," are not allowed a holiday on the anniversary of his birth. Was it not within a few miles of this town that the first shots were fired which meant that the colonies of America were to be free and independent? Are we not within sight of the monument erected over the spot where brave men fought and fell at Bunker Hill? If this is Harvard conservatism, fit upon it! Where, we ask, is Harvard patriotism? For a lack of the sentiment of patriotism in the authorities...
...national war. It is the inevitable tendency of gold and silver to increase in value notwithstanding the immense quantities added every year from the mines and the substitution of credit systems for money.

The bill of fare is very much like ours at Memorial-steaks or chops, and tea and coffee for breakfast, the same kind of luncheon, and the same dinner, except that there is no fish, and there is one less vegetable, I think. And what...
Since the yard authorities complied with the oft-expressed desire of the CRIMSON and furnished us with plank walks, a time worn subject for articles of all kinds has been removed. The authorities have used praiseworthy care in keeping the walks in the yard free from snow this winter. There are, however, a few places where especial care should be taken, and which seem to have been neglected. These are the steps of the various dormitories, and more especially Weld and Thayer. Covered with ice as they are at present, with but a slight covering of ashes, which tend merely...
