...concert of the Glee club and Pierian takes place this evening in Sanders. We are glad to know that the sale of tickets has been so large and can regard the large sale only as a proper recognition of the reputation and ability of Harvard's musicians. That the concert will be an enjoyable as well as a successful one we do not doubt. These winter concerts of the Glee club and Pierian have always been pleasant features of college life...
...concur in them. It would be utterly unwise to attempt to introduce the system in full operation at Harvard at once into the University. A foot-ball player here, in explaining to me the causes of the defeat of the University by another college team, said: 'their men, you know, are much larger than ours.' 'How so?' said I. 'What is the average age of your men at entrance?' 'Sixteen.'

...most part this avoidance is most marked when the effect follows speedily on the cause. When there is considerable lapse of time between cause and effect, our perception of the result is not so clear. The use of alcoholic liquors, opium and tobacco are examples of this fact.

...does the Anglomaniac ever have such an excuse? Does he ever think of worth and virtue? We think not. As we conceive him, he is a man who follows English customs, solely because they are English, not because they are in any particular way good.

This apeing English ways was what we protested against in a former editorial; our protest was against Anglomania as being nothing but apeing. Indeed we are doubtful if any higher and more complimentary meaning can be given to the word...
...condition of things that a terse statement of facts is most welcome to the confused mind of many young men. Nothing is worse than uncertainty. Most men will fight best when exactly cognizant of what they must meet. Even be the odds against him, one likes to know the fact. Especially valuable then is an address like the one delivered before the Phi Beta Kappa Society of Harvard University last June, by William Henry Rawle, M.A., L.L.D. The author is a man of large experience in legal circles. He takes for his subject, "The Case of the Educated Un-employed...
