...outrage which I have narrated, and which suggested this course of reasoning, is a good test of its correctness. For if hazing is a bad thing, we should naturally expect that the consequences of its abolition would not be disastrous. And what do we see? Why, that members of the first class which has ever been exempt from hazing, in less than two months after entrance, have dared to assail one of the most cherished palladia of upper classmen. This state of affairs is one which arouses grave feelings of alarm and demands the deepest consideration. And, in order that...
...many luckless Harvard men are there who have promenaded that seemingly endless street in Springfield in the almost hopeless search for a bit of magenta ribbon! "None," "Not any," "Don't keep it," were the answers from those scores of dry-goods stores. Can any good come out of Springfield? In the best-looking store of all, in answer to inquiries, some pink ribbon was produced, some scarlet, some maroon, some purple braid! and finally, - last hair which broke, etc., - "Would n't some of this red tape do?"

One of the class wishes to know if that was the origin of bull-frogs...
...Thayer Club, has the following: "This institution is now run on the hotel plan, and quite a varied bill of fare is furnished every day. Circumstances seem to favor the adoption of the restaurant plan, and that would doubtless be very convenient for most students, and a good thing for the club." We quote the above to encourage any movement tending to the adoption of a restaurant-boarding system at Harvard. If, as we hear, there is any chance of a general college table in Memorial Hall, the restaurant plan should by all means be adopted...
...Yale Record of this week is a good number. Among other things it discusses the place of the next Regatta, approves of New London, and thinks that extortion would be the chief feature of a Regatta at Saratoga. It loses its temper in an attempt to "rough" the Magenta for venturing to say that in its last number it indulged "a wee bit in braggadocio," and makes one remark which may have been funny when it first appeared in Yale papers, though we have forgotten, and another which we do not repeat, because we are unwilling to believe that more...
