...class as a whole meets for anything like social purposes. Every man in a class has a certain extent of class feeling, he is loyal to his class teams and is proud of any credit that may come to the class. But yet there are very few who really know their class, know what kind of men belong to it, and know why they are proud of it. The junior dinner is the occasion when the member of the class begins to know each other. Before the dinner, class feeling is a name; after the dinner, it is a reality...
Several times this year mention has been made of the gilt cross over the entrance to the library, but as far as we know its real history has not been told. When, in 1745 Louisburg surrendered to Sir William Pipperell and the Massachusetts troops, the cross was taken as a trophy and was brought to Cambridge on the return of the soldiers. The date of the capture and a further inscription were printed upon it and it was given a place among other relics which were formerly preserved in Harvard Hall. After the removal of the library from that building...

It is the best expression of the risque spirit which has been periodically showing up in the Advocate since last year, that has yet appeared...
...officers go unpaid. I take it that there are a few sons of Harvard who are not loyal to civil service reform. The only contention on that point is whether this party or that has violated its pledges, and when you get two parties in this predicament you can know that the bone of contention is strong. Mr. Greenhalge then went on to express his trust that Harvard men would take an active part in the campaign, on whichever side they stood. He further spoke of his pleasure at our successful debate with Yale...
