...Rowing Association. In so acting, have they in the slightest gone beyond the bounds of justice? Have they merited to be called " cowards " and " dishonorable " men by the Yale Courant, to have this taunt caught up by the Republican, sealed as true by that paper's reputation for just judgment, and spread throughout the country as an exponent of the character of Harvard Freshmen as true as it is bitter? To this question there can be but one answer when it is remembered that at the Convention in Worcester the -Freshmen Boat Clubs were not represented. These are the facts...
...faculties, has begun to question the truth of what it has been taught to accept as dogma. On the one hand, science, made confident by its recent achievements, assails the very foundations of the Christian religion, rejecting with scorn testimony and proof which require standards of judgment other than those of the exact sciences; while, on the other, literature, or rather the champion of the "literary theory of culture," refuses to accept a religion which cannot be justified by man's own powers of reasoning.

...editors of the Era. Those who fill the position not only represent the students here, but also are held as representatives of the University, in a certain sense, by other universities and colleges; hence, to do credit to it needs not only good literary ability, but straightforward manliness, sound judgment, and integrity." In a class election, with Sophomore societies and Sophomore cliques in the field, we doubt if all these qualities would be kept in view...
