...interesting at this time of the year when Class Day is absorbing so much attention to know its development and to see how the present festivities compare with those of earlier years. There is no day more dear to the hearts of Seniors than that day to which they have constantly looked forward, Class Day. A hundred years ago the same remark might have been made in regard to commencement, which within late years, for undergraduates at least, has been surpreseded in the hearts of the students by Class Day. It is interesting to watch the rise and fall...
...falling off in the number of Andover and Exeter graduates who come to Harvard, is it not partially because we have seemed to be indifferent to their interests? It used to be the custom for our eleven to go to Exeter every year, and those who have been there know the influence it had upon the students.

We have little to say of a man who will deny this, We are glad that in Harvard there is a just appreciation of a person's worth. When an insult is offered...
...nine will present to the Athletic Committee today a petition requesting permission to play a third game with Princeton, if one should be necessary. It is a request which every one would be glad to see granted. It is reasonable and and desirable, from our point of view. We know the faculty is opposed to freshman athletics on a large scale. Consequently we have had for some years the unsatisfactory custom of only two freshmen games with Yale, whether the series has resulted in a tie or not. This is likely to be taken as a precedent to justify...
