...know that the average Harvard man is a self-contained and well-behaved individual; and, let me add, in case this should catch the eye of one of your exchanges, that the actions of these particular sophomores are a marked exception. What right have I to take my neighbors to task, to set myself up as a censor of public conduct?

...departure made by the Banjo Club in giving the concert in the yard Tuesday evening was so successful that we hope the precedent will be followed at frequent intervals during the remainder of the college year. We know that the club has been busy during the past few months, but now that nearly all its engagements have been fulfilled, the club might well give the college the benefit of its practice and thus earn the thanks of all.

...pursuance of the plan formed by the management of the H. S. C. to obtain team practice before the match with Pennsylvania, the team went to the grounds of the Wellington club, on Saturday last, and shot a practice match. Contrary to the expectation of those who know the relative strength of the two teams, the contest proved very close, and the Harvard team showed unexpected skill.

The summary follows...
