...hours when none but the perpetrators can enjoy the noble sport, is conduct which is certainly worthy of the highest commendation and admiration, but it must necessarily fail to meet the craving of the college at large for an opportunity to relieve the excited emotions. Therefore, as a method of celebration, it may be safely considered henceforth as somewhat unsatisfactory. By all that marks a Harvard student as a gentleman, we call on the would be incendiaries to desist from such puerile extravagances as the bonfire last built in front of University. If something must be burned, let the burning...
...which no thought of building one was entertained.

We take strong exceptions to this view, for the simple reason that we deny that any student...
...going to a recitation, and still spend the hour as they like. Unhappily they do not seem to realize that in their conduct they are guilty of grave discourtesy to the instructor, - a discourtesy which does not come from gentlemen. Then in addition, a man who follows this method shows a lamentable lack of courage. If he wants to spend his hour away from a lecture, the way to do it is to cut, and not to sneak out after a roll-call. This sneaking is poor business, even for freshmen...
