...into the home and there preach simplicity. Regulations by the government of the university can only tend to destroy the good relations at present existing between faculty and students, while they will be found wholly inadequate to remedy evils here existing in reality far from their source. We are loth to believe that a want of gentlemanliness is so far encouraged at Harvard that the poorer students are compelled by the force of public opinion either to incur expenses beyond their means, or to lose caste among their fellows. It is necessary to the welfare of the university that young...
...note that, exclusive of College House and Divinity, there are sixty-three rooms to be drawn for next month, and of that number forty-nine are occupied this year by members of '86.

The HERALD in its opinions has not spoken as representing more than its own editorial board, and would be loth to bring evidence that its views are representative in any larger sense were it not directly challenged to do so by the News. The News perhaps is at liberty to regard the deliberate expressions of the Crimson, Advocate, Lampoon and HERALD as "bencath notice," - so high is it raised above...
