...very much astonished, and not a little indignant to find in the description of the winter meetings a violent personal attack upon one of the gentlemen who took part in the boxing. Now I for one do not think that a college paper should criticise any gentleman by name, especially without having a good command of the facts. Again, I think that a paper which does this, should be at least consistent in its procedure. Why does it not name the gentleman who misbehaved in the wrestling?

...similar basis. In the lapse of several years, however, one might expect that flaws could be found or improvements suggested in the constitution of the Harvard Co-operative Society. That this does not appear to be the case, at least to any appreciable extent, must be gratifying to those gentleman who labored so earnestly and carefully for the success of Harvard's experiment. The moral of this editorial lies in the thought that, had it not been for the energy displayed by a few at the recent crisis in the life of the Co-operative, no such pleasant reflections...
