...some one asks. Many will at once come to mind. First, it will bring the whole matter into easy adjustment to the studies and recitations. It will eliminate a large part of the absences from college. It will dimish opportunities for abuse, brutality, and off-color conduct of all kind; for it is absolutely impossible for any of these things to stand before the traditions or in the atmosphere of Yale or Harvard, where the contests and responsibilities are confined to themselves. It may even save the contests from abolition by keeping their numbers within bounds...

These tablets were dug up by the natives and sent to London, whence they came by purchase into the possession of Harvard College. In connection...
...remedy this evil that the suggestion is made about a literary society for sophomores. Such an organization should have in it a social element, yet it should not be so strong as to exclude men of literary ability for the sake of personal friends. A society of this kind could not fail to be successful, and would be a great addition to our college life. If the suggestion seems good, will not the upper classmen interest themselves in the matter...
