...such meaning proverbs as "Soapine did it" - might necessitate even the closing of the college. In view of these facts we sincerely hope that the conductors and drivers of the Cambridge tramways will take serious thought before they strike and interrupt the progress of the "oldest, largest and grandest university in America...
...alarm of fire from box 78 at 10.50 last night brought more than half the men in college to Fresh Pond. Those who took the two mile run over fields, fences, ditches, and barbed wire, were well repaid for their trouble by one of the grandest sights that has been seen around Cambridge for a long time.

But it is not the mathematical technicalities which we want...

The value of the sciences is fast becoming recognized, but our scientific department, although, perhaps, in some respects the strongest in college, will never be fully equipped until it offers to the students an elementary course in one of the grandest of the sciences, astronomy. It is with amazement that one in looking over one hundred and eighty, or more, courses fails to find even the mention of this almost subline study. We feel sure that a course in this science, conducted in the manner of the elementary course in geology...
