...this country, is steadily losing ground and growing less and less important as a factor of college life. And this is not to be regretted; for, in proportion as the narrower spirit of class declines, a broader university spirit springs up in its place. Harvard has reached a successful mean between a too intense class spirit and a too bloodless university spirit, barring perhaps a partial survival of the former in her freshman class, one anomaly of the many anomalies of that institution at Harvard. That class spirit will ever entirely disappear from American colleges as now organized is impossible...
...answer to numerous inquiries, the class committee wish to state that the "home address" mentioned in Pach's list, does not mean the college address; and also that by "B. B. '82 Group," and "Foot-Ball '82 Group," are meant the '82 freshman teams. In conclusion, the class committee again earnestly request all seniors who have not yet sat, or who are not satisfied with their proofs, to make appointments at once with Pach, at his studio on Cambridge street, or with the subscriber.

After all this, why should so fair a paper as the American persist in judging us so harshly, when even our own Crimson, ardent admirer and exponent...
...storm. I am very fond of the sea, and I have been at sea in very rough weather. I wanted to see the fury of an Atlantic gale." And to the question as to what reception he had met with from his audiences, he answered: "If you mean those scholars at Boston (laughing heartily), that was a bit of school-boy fun not meant in any sort of malice." Then he entered upon an explanation of his mission in America, respecting many of the admirable platitudes of his lecture here, and praising the American character and our possibilities...
