...this purpose we would offer the following suggestion of a practical nature. Another committee, not necessarily captains of the crew, eleven, etc., might be appointed and instructed to decide within a given time, and announce their decision to the College. This committee could go to N. L. Green, who imports largely for the trade, and also directly to order, select a color, and declare it as Harvard's color. Mr. Green, who at present furnishes ribbon for most of our societies, upon being assured of our patronage, would import this color, and supply it to students, and also dealers...
Crimson, while a more popular color, has this same disadvantage, and unless some precaution is taken various shades will be sold for crimson. If arrangements could be made with some one house to manufacture and import for Harvard a given line of crimson ribbons which should be dyed after a fixed standard, the difficulty would be obviated. In this case, Harvard men would know just where they could buy the exact shade, and the enterprising shop-men of Saratoga could stock their counters with what was really Harvard's color, and not, as last year, sell quite another shade from...

As we have a sample of American work, of which...
PERHAPS no community of men is less subject to the thoughts which attend a realizing sense of the inevitability and imminence of death than a college community; and this for several reasons. Of these the most important is the age of its members, to which the consideration of death is both repugnant and unnatural. All our pursuits have a direct bearing on our immediate future which they presuppose, and therefore our future as a whole is apt to find no place in our calculations. We are eminently a hopeful community. Success in some one or other of its forms seems...
