...professional taint or of undue excess was ever made. Indeed the gap between the two methods of reform is not so very wide. Not-withstanding these consideration however, we believe the college stands ready to accept the experiment of the faculty and test its new system with good grace and even with willing cooperation, provided that it be reasonably forewarned and be treated with justness and fairness so that its position may not become forced and unnatural, through inconsistent regulations, and ambiguous proceedings on the part of the faculty...
...dragged from his coach and murdered in the streets, long ago, and of many others. The hall itself, is long and narrow with windows high on the sides. The benches are hard but the food provided is always good. At one end is an altar, over which grace is always said before each meal. Passing on from here we come to the library which contains 250,000 volumes, many of them of great age and value.

Among girls, running is a lost art. Yet it is doubtful if an exercise was ever devised which does more...
...good to almost anything, we fear that any investigation of such a subject as secret societies will result in nothing but angry defiance on the part of the students who naturally feet that their privileges are being violated. Undergraduates are not apt to accept with any degree of grace, dictation from their alumni, believing as they do that they themselves are reasonable beings and can institute reforms if reforms be needed. The undergraduates of Harvard have already had a taste of indiscreet graduate interference in the matter of the disputed Colombia race and the dose, to say the least...
