Much of what Dr. Sargent had to say was quite true, and the students must lay the lack of sufficient hot water in part to their own foolishness. If those who come first would have a little more regard for those who are to follow, a great deal of unnecessary fault-finding would be obviated...

Much as we deem the writer of the article egregiously ignorant about our affairs, there can be no doubt that Harvard is not exempt from the evils which always beset a large body of society-composed entirely of men, but that is no particular fault of ours.

A couple of young men, including Captain Holden, who lay Saturday night about as nearly knocked to pieces without being killed as a young man could, were seriously damaged. The fact is, Saturday's game at Harvard was recklessly rough and full of slugging...
