...Haven will be filled next week with graduates and undergraduates, too, for that matter, as an almost unprecedented number expect to stay for the race. Without a doubt, commencement week, with its attendant exercises and freedom from study, is the most delightful part of the year in New Haven. Speaking of commencement recalls the action of your senior class in forbidding the freshmen to participate in the exercises around the class tree. We are waiting to see if a "custom" can be established by vote...
...have before remarked, some of the shorter poems have serious faults, but they are only natural ones that experience would surely remove. In general there is a healthy imagery, a delicious freedom from that morbid, sickly perversion of aestheticism that is so much sought after by writers of rhyme at the present time.

This condition of affairs must be reformed by some means or other. If college students themselves do not see and appreciate this fact, and if there is no other way to convince them of it, measures as stern and decisive as the summary...
...this, and had he ever taken the trouble to glance at some college papers, he would have at least somewhat moderated his statements. We make bold to say that upon careful examination we have noticed that the papers of co-educational colleges almost universally possess a spirit of freedom and, to use a well understood term, of broadness that would not be tolerated in Harvard journalism. We could readily give illustrations of this fact, but it would be useless; all who have read co-educational college papers must have noticed it. We do not wish to be rude, but with...
