...wildest expression of joy, such action would not have exceeded the demands of college patriotism. For whatever of this took place I have nothing but approval. But I consider it outrageous that through the whole evening and far into the night such an infernal noise should be kept up that no man who had studying to do could attend to his work. From 8.30 until 11 the disturbance was in no sense a general demonstration by the college; twenty-five men could be named who made ninety-nine per cent, of the noise. That three or four possessors of fish...
...such houses and surroundings as this. All the education of a college course is by no means given in classrooms. What has given to the educated men of England and Germany that peculiar ripeness of culture with depth of feeling and though, which in a very remarkable degree has kept mere noise and boisterousness at a discount in their public assemblies, and, indeed in the whole theory and practice of their lives?

After this the juniors commenced to pull away from the '86 boat at every stroke...
...management of the freshman nine is showing much enterprise in arranging practice games. Four games are scheduled for the next five or six days, so that the men will be kept constantly on the jump to meet these engagements. This looks like business. Such energy is what is needed to give the freshmen the necessary practice to cope successfully with the Yale men. Such nines as those of the Newton High School and the Braintree nine, do not offer very formidable opponents to our freshmen, but every game familiarizes the men with one another's style of play, and tends...
