...body. Under the design was "1817," the year of President Bartlett's birth, "Rev. - -, D. D., LL. D." At the present stage of college tolerance, it is surprising that a bit of college pleasantry cannot be viewed in any other light by the Dartmount faculty than as an insult and slander to their president. When the college press descends to the publication of low, common and coarse caricatures, it is perfectly proper for college authorities to supress it, but in this case there is nothing which can justify the wrath of a faculty to the extent of suspension of those...
...reforms, including the suppression of the horrible rites of Bloody Monday Night, and now the freshmen are threatened with an abridgment of their daily exercise at the bowling alleys. Up, freshmen, and be men! Let not your honor be thus stained. Exterminate all who venture thus to outrage and insult you! What effrontery is this, to suggest that part of the space now occupied by you be devoted hereafter to the use of paltry base-ball players?

Our "Mugwump" is sorry "that Mr. Lodge could give us no better advice than that the doctrine of expediency should be our rule of life." There was nothing in the lecture which admits of such a construction...
...like stamp which flourish on the plains of Texas. According to this highly tinted fiction, Harvard is a hot-bed of incipient Nihilism and irreligion. Let us look at the question of irreligion for a moment. The statement on its face is a reproach, if not an insult, to the parents and friends of every Harvard student. For by their advice he has been led, not metaphorically speaking, to enter the den of thieves. But is it true? Can any one justly say that student feeling at Harvard is distinctly irreligious? Are we, simply because we are Harvard students...
