...Their late murderous design against a Boston policeman (which I am happy to say only deprived him of an ear) shows the folly of allowing them to carry canes at all. Instead of spending their weekly allowance to start a Glee Club, the Freshmen would get more satisfaction and honor if they would subscribe their share for the maintenance of the crew. While they do not wish to compare themselves YET with the Juniors (and I agree with X' 81 that any attempt to do so would be ridiculous in the extreme), they might at least take example from...

Over sixty men are taking this course, and are actually enthusiastic over it. When before were Harvard students enthusiastic over Mathematics? If all the instructors would follow the example...
