...merely. At some colleges a person of a religious turn of mind is variously denominated "evangelical," "long-ear," and "donkey." I confess myself as ignorant of the similarity which exists between these terms and that which they define as any from the ranks of the might be. While at Harvard "one of the b'hoys" means a jolly good fellow, the same thing is elsewhere denoted by "brick," "seed," and "varmint"; the latter word is in use at Cam-bridge, England. At Princeton College, if a student leaves town indebted to his shoemaker and others, he is said to "skunk...

...asserting that "of the six hundred undergraduates in Harvard College, the proportion who enjoy good classical music is much smaller than it should be, "the writer enunciates a truth, though it can hardly be considered startling in originality. Where are we to find any number of persons, in any condition of culture, to whom the same remark would be inapplicable?

...regard to the Freshman Race, the Springfield Republican persists in what we consider the wrong view. As that paper will undoubtedly have a considerable influence upon public opinion in boating matters for the next month, we will state clearly the opinion of Harvard Freshmen; the Springfield newspaper shall not have this excuse, at any rate, for its partisan course, that it was ignorant of the facts...

...Harvard, the University Boat Club and the Freshman Boat Club are distinct organizations; neither has any right of control over the other; at a meeting of neither can business be transacted binding the other; neither is responsible for the debts of the other. It is admitted that the Freshman race will be under the control of the Regatta Committee; it is also true that in general the officers of the U. B. C. often advise the members of the Freshman crew, and make arrangements for their training and races; but these things are done by tacit consent...
