...learn that the question of hazing is attracting much attention just now at Yale, and should judge that both those who are in favor of continuing the old custom and its opponents have very strong feelings upon the subject. A writer in the same paper suggests that "Bones men" refrain from wearing their pins in public, in order to do away with the hard feelings in the Senior Class "which are due to the relations of Bones men and Neutrals." As Harvard men, we approve of such advice, not as applied to the Skull and Bones in particular...
...have no hesitation in pronouncing it the best exchange which has come to our table this year. Its articles are written upon subjects to which its fair contributors show themselves able to do justice; there is no attempt made to soar upon wings which the greatest men of the times have lacked strength to propel, while at the same time, that other extreme, so suggestive of elementary spelling-books and "puss-in-the-corner," is nowhere to be met with in its pages. It is very interesting, extremely sensible, and thoroughly feminine. As comparisons are odious, we will not draw...

The tax-bills were made out accordingly, and sent around to the students. All were surprised, and some, in their surprise, paid the bills. When next the farmers, "in town-meeting assembled," undertook to legislate for the town, they were in their turn surprised...
...what they have learned there, who cannot act so much as a unit, and who are not so easily accessible as students. Though the latter are less numerous, they should not find themselves entirely neglected, as they are now, on that account. You will very probably say that educated men gain an experience of men and affairs, after leaving college, which gives them this greater consideration, - and who will not agree with you? - but it would be hard, and more, for you to show that this experience differs in any marked degree from that which the comparatively illiterate...
