...thim's students, thank hivens I ain't had no education," was the remark of an old Irishman as the prosession of '80 came in sight. Others, however, did not regard the students with such disfavor. "The sidewalks," according to the college paper, "were lined with beautiful young ladies of Boston's first families;" and they greeted the procession with every demonstration of approval. Sixty-five handkerchiefs, one black shawl, and various pieces of hats is the current Crimson's estimate of the more tangible marks of maidenly favor con ferried.

After about five miles of the course had been covered the scent improved. The course lay through Brookline and Jamaica Plain to Chestnut Hill reservoir. Here Mr. Matthewson and Mr. Norton made up their handicap but again the scent was lost...
...students of Harvard expect to be the lenders in such organizations. They will expect those under them to be temperate. Is it fair, is it manly, for them to indulge themselves while depriving others of the privilege? He first became a total abstainer through a poor hard-drinking Irishman whom he tried to reform. He could not play fair with him unless he agreed to shut off drinking himself...
